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

The human fungal pathogen Candida albicans causes invasive candidiasis, characterized by fatal organ failure due to disseminated fungal growth and inflammatory damage. The suppressor of TCR signaling 1 (Sts-1) and Sts-2 are two homologous phosphatases that negatively regulate signaling pathways in a number of hematopoietic cell lineages, including T lymphocytes, mast cells, and platelets. Functional inactivation of both Sts enzymes leads to profound resistance to systemic infection by C. albicans, such that greater than 80% of mice lacking Sts-1 and -2 survive a dose of C. albicans (2.5 × 10(5) CFU/mouse) that is uniformly lethal to wild-type mice within 10 days. Restriction of fungal growth within the kidney occurs by 24 h postinfection in the mutant mice. This occurs without induction of a hyperinflammatory response, as evidenced by the decreased presence of leukocytes and inflammatory cytokines that normally accompany the antifungal immune response. Instead, the absence of the Sts phosphatases leads to the rapid induction of a unique immunological environment within the kidney, as indicated by the early induction of a proinflammatory cytokine (CXL10). Mice lacking either Sts enzyme individually display an intermediate lethality phenotype. These observations identify an opportunity to optimize host immune responses toward a deadly fungal pathogen.
