Escherichia coli and TNF-alpha modulate macrophage phagocytosis of Candida glabrata.
Article in The Journal of surgical research, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers.
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
backgroundThe incidence of systemic nonalbicans Candida (especially C. glabrata) infections is increasing dramatically in intensive care units, but relatively little is known about the pathogenesis or host defenses associated with these life threatening infections. MATERIALS AND
methodsThe course of systemic C. glabrata infection was assessed as the fungal burden in the kidneys and livers of mice sacrificed 1, 8, and 15 d after intravenous C. glabrata. Sixteen hours before each sacrifice, half of the mice were injected intraperitoneally with intact viable or nonviable E. coli cells, or with E. coli lipopolysaccharide (LPS), or with tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha. To clarify the effect of LPS and TNF-alpha on phagocytosis, resident (unstimulated) mouse peritoneal macrophages were harvested, cultivated ex vivo, and some cultures were treated with LPS or TNF-alpha prior to 30 min incubation with C. glabrata.
resultsCompared with mice injected with vehicle, each agent (intact E. coli cells or E. coli LPS or TNF-alpha) was consistently associated with decreased numbers of tissue C. glabrata, and some of these decreases were significant (P < 0.05). Compared with untreated macrophages, phagocytosis of C. glabrata was increased with LPS-treated macrophages (P < 0.01), and phagocytosis was also increased in the presence of TNF-alpha (P < 0.01).
conclusionE. coli LPS and TNF-alpha may participate in host defense against C. glabrata by a mechanism involving increased macrophage phagocytosis, suggesting that stimulation of inflammatory cytokines may facilitate host clearance of C. glabrata.
