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

The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is frequently overexpressed in a variety of human epithelial tumors, and its aberrant activation plays a pivotal role in promoting tumor growth, invasion, and metastasis. The clinically approved passive EGFR-related therapies have numerous limitations. Seven EGFR-ECD epitope peptides (EG1-7) were selected through bioinformatics epitope prediction tools including NetMHCpan-4.1, NetMHCIIpan-3.2, and IEDB Consensus (v2.18 and v2.22) and fused to the translocation domain of diphtheria toxin (DTT). The A549 tumor model was successfully established in a murine mouse model. The vaccine was formulated by combining the adjuvants Alum and CpG and subsequently assessed for its immunogenicity and anti-tumor efficacy. DTT-EG (3;5;6;7) vaccines elicited specific humoral and cellular immune responses and effectively suppressed tumor growth in both prophylactic and therapeutic mouse tumor models. The selected epitopes EG3 (HGAVRFSNNPALCNV145-159), EG5 (KDSLSINATNIKHFK346-360), EG6 (VKEITGFLLIQAWPE398-412), and EG7 (LCYANTINWKKLFGT469-483) were incorporated into vaccines for active immunization, representing a promising strategy for the treatment of tumors with overexpressed epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). The vaccine design and fusion method employed in this study demonstrate a viable approach toward the development of cancer vaccines.
