BLMPred: Predicting linear B-cell epitopes using pre-trained protein language models and machine learning.
Article in Computational and structural biotechnology journal, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
B-cells get activated through interaction with B-cell epitopes, a specific portion of the antigen. Identification of B-cell epitopes is crucial for a wide range of clinical applications, including disease diagnostics, vaccine and antibody development, and immunotherapy. While experimental B-cell epitope identification is expensive and time-consuming, computational tools are starting to emerge that can generate lists of high-confidence epitopes for experimental trials. In this paper, we present BLMPred, a sequence-based linear B-cell epitope prediction tool, which exploits pre-trained protein language model embeddings for deriving local and global protein structural features from the protein primary structure. BLMPred is a binary classifier which can predict whether an input peptide sequence is an antibody epitope or not without relying on 3D protein structures. BLMPred has been shown to outperform other comparable tools when tested on multiple independent datasets. It is freely available at https://github.com/bdbarnalidas/BLMPred.git.
