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

Background: Peptides were designed to induce immune tolerance to the major antigen associated with house dust mite (HDM) allergy, Der p 1. HDM is commonly associated with allergic responses in allergic rhinitis and asthma, with Der p 1 specific T-cells implicated in ongoing disease. Tolerogenic peptide immunotherapy can induce tolerance in pathogenic T-cells, bypass mast cell activation and hence reduce the risk of anaphylaxis. A pan-DR binding epitope of Der p 1, covering the broad population, was tested for efficacy in HLA-DR transgenic mice. Methods: Potential pan-HLA-DR binding tolerogenic T-cell epitopes from Der p 1 were predicted Results: HDM-sensitised subjects have an elevated response to pan-DR binding peptide D 30mer. Peptide analogue D121B, containing the minimal epitope and optimised for solubility, was verified as a tolerogenic apitope and induced tolerance against Der p 1 antigens in HLA-DR4 transgenic mice Conclusion: A tolerogenic peptide, apitope D121B, reduces T-cell immune responses to Der p 1 and is a promising candidate for further development as an immunotherapy for HDM-associated allergic rhinitis and asthma.
