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 human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-presented peptide repertoire, termed immunopeptidome, plays a crucial role for T-cell mediated immune reactions. Previously, the human immunopeptidome of non-malignant tissues has been mapped in a large-scale study, the HLA Ligand Atlas, via high-resolution data-dependent acquisition (DDA) mass spectrometry. This publicly available and user-friendly web interface (https://hla-ligand-atlas.org) is frequently used as a benign tissue reference in antigen discovery, especially for immunotherapy of cancer. Here, we extend the HLA Ligand Atlas resource with paired data-independent acquisition (DIA) runs for all tissue-subject combinations. This novel dataset comprises 946 DIA HLA class I and II immunopeptidomic runs from 242 non-malignant human samples across 18 subjects and 29 distinct tissues. Together with the published DDA runs, this extends the range and depth of analyses performed on the HLA Ligand Atlas dataset. In a concise analysis, we showcase advantages of DIA over DDA concerning spectral sampling and sensitivity. These findings are attributed to the increased dynamic range in DIA, enabling the identification of peptide transitions with low signal intensities. Moreover, we demonstrate the superior sensitivity by applying an HLA-A*02:01 allotype-specific spectral library search to identify and quantify HLA-presented peptides. We encourage reanalysis of the provided DDA and DIA data in combination as a reference for future research concerning human immunology.
