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

Heat shock proteins (hsp's) isolated from murine cancer cells can elicit protective immunity and specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) by channeling tumor-derived peptides bound to hsp's to the major histocompatibility class I antigen presentation pathway. Here we have investigated if hsp70 can be used in a novel peptide vaccine for the induction of protective antiviral immunity and memory CTLs. A CTL epitope from the well-defined lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV) system was mixed with recombinant hsp70 in vitro under conditions that optimize peptide binding to hsp70. Mice were immunized with the hsp70-peptide mixture and challenged with LCMV. Virus titers were reduced 10-100-fold in these mice compared to control mice. Immunization with the hsp70-peptide mixture resulted in the development of CTL memory cells that could be reactivated during LCMV infection, and that in a 51Cr-release assay could lyse cells pulsed with the same peptide, but not cells pulsed with another LCMV peptide. These results show that hsp70 can be used with CTL epitopes to induce efficient protective antiviral immunity and the generation of peptide-specific CTLs. The results also demonstrate the usefulness of hsp70 as an alternative to adjuvants and DNA vectors for the delivery of CTL epitopes to antigen-presenting cells.
