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

Cancer cells and pathogens can evade T cell receptors (TCRs) via mutations in immunogenic epitopes. TCR cross-reactivity (i.e., recognition of multiple epitopes with sequence similarities) can counteract such escape but may cause severe side effects in cell-based immunotherapies through targeting self-antigens. To predict the effect of epitope point mutations on T cell functionality, we here present the random forest-based model Predicting T Cell Epitope-Specific Activation against Mutant Versions (P-TEAM). P-TEAM was trained and tested on three datasets with TCR responses to single-amino-acid mutations of the model epitope SIINFEKL, the tumor neo-epitope VPSVWRSSL, and the human cytomegalovirus antigen NLVPMVATV, totaling 9,690 unique TCR-epitope interactions. P-TEAM was able to accurately classify T cell reactivities and quantitatively predict T cell functionalities for unobserved single-point mutations and unseen TCRs. Overall, P-TEAM provides an effective computational tool to study T cell responses against mutated epitopes.
