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

introductionFungal transversal across the brain microvascular endothelial cells (BMECs) is the essential step for the development of cryptococcal meningoencephalitis. Annexin A2 (AnxA2) is an important signaling protein involved in several intracellular processes such as membrane trafficking, endocytosis, and exocytosis.

aimTo investigate the roles and mechanism of AnxA2 during cryptococcal transversal of BMECs.

resultsCryptococcus neoformans infection initiated upregulation of AnxA2 in mouse BMECs. Blockade with anti-AnxA2 antibody led to a reduction in fungal transcytosis activity but no change in its adhesion efficiency. Intriguingly, AnxA2 depletion caused a significant increase in fungal association activity but had no effect on their transcytosis. AnxA2 suppression resulted in marked reduction in its partner protein S100A10, and S100A10 suppression in BMECs significantly reduced the cryptococcal transcytosis efficiency. Furthermore, AnxA2 dephosphorylation at Tyr23 and dephosphorylation of downstream cofilin were required for cryptococcal transversal of BMECs, both of which might be primarily involved in the association of C. neoformans with host cells.

conclusionsOur work indicated that AnxA2 played complex roles in traversal of C. neoformans across host BMECs, which might be dependent on downstream cofilin to inhibit fungal adhesion but rely on its partner S100A10 to promote cryptococcal transcytosis.
