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 emergence of new variants of SARS-CoV-2, including Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, Omicron variants, and XBB sub-variants, contributes to the number of coronavirus cases worldwide. SARS-CoV-2 is a positive RNA virus with a genome of 29.9 kb that encodes four structural proteins: spike glycoprotein (S), envelope glycoprotein (E), membrane glycoprotein (M), and nucleocapsid glycoprotein (N). These proteins are vital for viral activity, with the S protein facilitating attachment and membrane fusion through the receptor-binding domain (RBD) located in the S1 subunit. The RBD recognizes and binds to the human angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE-2) protein. An immunoinformatic-aided design of a peptide-based multiepitope vaccine candidate targeting the RBD glycoprotein is constructed from the SARS-CoV-2 sequence data base from various regions of Indonesia (Jakarta, West Java, and Bali). The results show that the RBD region of with accession ID EPI_ISL_15982641 from West Java had the highest antigenicity of 0.5904. This isolate is non-toxic and non-allergenic and shows a total of 18 LBL epitopes, 72 CTL epitopes, and 98 HTL epitopes. The epitope that has the best overall binding affinity was GCHNKCAY for MHC-I and GGCVFSYVGCHNKCAYWV for MHC-II which show a binding affinity of -13.6 and -15.5 (kcal/mol), respectively. Therefore, this study aims to design an epitope vaccine candidate based on samples from Indonesia that has good characteristics and may have the potential to stimulate an immune response against SARS-CoV-2.
