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

T cells rely on short peptides presented by highly polymorphic major histocompatibility complexes (MHCs) to selectively initiate adaptive immune responses. Despite its importance, few techniques can systematically evaluate stable peptide presentation across diverse MHC alleles. Here, we describe a yeast display pipeline that can be deployed to rapidly screen peptides to identify class I pMHC binders across many alleles. Through this, we isolate unique biological phenomena such as alteration of the peptide presentation of HLA-B57 via interaction with the antiviral small molecule abacavir. We apply this approach to multiple pathogen proteomes (
