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

Introduction: Personalized neoantigen vaccines can induce antitumor T cell responses, but only 10-20% of selected peptides have induced immune responses in patients, underscoring the limitations of current prediction strategies. Methods: We analyzed a clinically annotated dataset from 352 cancer patients who received personalized neoantigen peptide-pulsed dendritic cell vaccines. We focused on 2,317 short peptides derived from single nucleotide variants for which post-vaccination T cell responses were evaluated by IFN-γ ELISPOT assay. Immunogenic neoantigen peptides were defined as those inducing a ≥2.0-fold increase in IFN-γ ELISPOT responses after vaccination. We systematically examined peptide intrinsic characteristics and physicochemical properties, as well as predicted scores related to antigen-processing machinery. Results and discussion: Immunogenicity was not associated with specific mutation positions or sequence patterns but was significantly correlated with higher hydrophobicity (
