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

introductionUltradense peptide binding arrays that can probe millions of linear peptides comprising the entire proteomes of human or mouse, or hundreds of thousands of microbes, are powerful tools for studying the antibody repertoire in serum samples to understand adaptive immune responses. MOTIVATION: There are few tools for exploring high-dimensional, significant and reproducible antibody targets for ultradense peptide binding arrays at the linear peptide, epitope (grouping of adjacent peptides), and protein level across multiple samples/subjects (i.e. epitope spread or immunogenic regions of proteins) for understanding the heterogeneity of immune responses.

resultsWe developed Hierarchical antibody binding Epitopes and pROteins from liNear peptides (HERON), an R package, which can identify immunogenic epitopes, using meta-analyses and spatial clustering techniques to explore antibody targets at various resolution and confidence levels, that can be found consistently across a specified number of samples through the entire proteome to study antibody responses for diagnostics or treatment. Our approach estimates significance values at the linear peptide (probe), epitope, and protein level to identify top candidates for validation. We tested the performance of predictions on all three levels using correlation between technical replicates and comparison of epitope calls on two datasets, and results showed HERON's competitiveness in estimating false discovery rates and finding general and sample-level regions of interest for antibody binding. AVAILABILITY AND IMPLEMENTATION: The HERON R package is available at Bioconductor https://bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/html/HERON.html.
