1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Accurate prediction of immunogenicity for neo-epitopes arising from a cancer associated mutation is a crucial step in many bioinformatics pipelines that predict outcome of checkpoint blockade treatments or that aim to design personalised cancer immunotherapies and vaccines. In this study, we performed a comprehensive analysis of peptide features relevant for prediction of immunogenicity using the Cancer Epitope Database and Analysis Resource (CEDAR), a curated database of cancer epitopes with experimentally validated immunogenicity annotations from peer-reviewed publications. The developed model, ICERFIRE (ICore-based Ensemble Random Forest for neo-epitope Immunogenicity pREdiction), extracts the predicted ICORE from the full neo-epitope as input, i.e. the nested peptide with the highest predicted major histocompatibility complex (MHC) binding potential combined with its predicted likelihood of antigen presentation (%Rank). Key additional features integrated into the model include assessment of the BLOSUM mutation score of the neo-epitope, and antigen expression levels of the wild-type counterpart which is often reflecting a neo-epitope's abundance. We demonstrate improved and robust performance of ICERFIRE over existing immunogenicity and epitope prediction models, both in cross-validation and on external validation datasets.
