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

Epitopic peptides presented by class-I human leukocyte antigen (HLA-I) proteins provide the basis of immune surveillance by T cells. Conversely, reduced surface HLA-I expression is a hallmark of immune evasion by latent viral infections and cancer, which confounds the identification of peptide antigens and neoantigens. Here, we outline a system (HLA-Shuttle) for in vitro manipulation of cells with engineered components of the HLA-I processing machinery to confer a continuum of chaperoning activity throughout their trafficking pathway. HLA-Shuttle restores antigen presentation in immunologically cold neuroblastoma cells, enabling identification of multiple tumor-associated antigens with therapeutic potential. Cellular trafficking assays and single-particle tracking reveal a global stabilization of HLA-I molecules, extension of their cell-surface lifetime and microdomain formation. HLA-Shuttle can be used across a range of aberrant cellular states where low antigen expression remains a bottleneck for the identification of endogenous peptide antigens.
