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

Major histocompatibility complex Class II (MHCII) proteins initiate and regulate immune responses by presentation of antigenic peptides to CD4+ T-cells and self-restriction. The interactions between MHCII and peptides determine the specificity of the immune response and are crucial in immunotherapy and cancer vaccine design. With the ever-increasing amount of MHCII-peptide binding data available, many computational approaches have been developed for MHCII-peptide interaction prediction over the last decade. There is thus an urgent need to provide an up-to-date overview and assessment of these newly developed computational methods. To benchmark the prediction performance of these methods, we constructed an independent dataset containing binding and non-binding peptides to 20 human MHCII protein allotypes from the Immune Epitope Database, covering DP, DR and DQ alleles. After collecting 11 known predictors up to January 2022, we evaluated those available through a webserver or standalone packages on this independent dataset. The benchmarking results show that MixMHC2pred and NetMHCIIpan-4.1 achieve the best performance among all predictors. In general, newly developed methods perform better than older ones due to the rapid expansion of data on which they are trained and the development of deep learning algorithms. Our manuscript not only draws a full picture of the state-of-art of MHCII-peptide binding prediction, but also guides researchers in the choice among the different predictors. More importantly, it will inspire biomedical researchers in both academia and industry for the future developments in this field.
