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

With the increasing numbers of immunocompromised hosts, Aspergillus fumigatus emerges as a lethal opportunistic fungal pathogen. Understanding innate and acquired immunity responses of the host is important for a better therapeutic strategy to deal with aspergillosis patients. To determine the transcriptome in the kidneys in aspergillosis, we employed RNA-Seq to obtain single 76-base reads of whole-genome transcripts of murine kidneys on a temporal basis (days 0; uninfected, 1, 2, 3 and 8) during invasive aspergillosis. A total of 6284 transcripts were downregulated, and 5602 were upregulated compared to baseline expression. Gene ontology enrichment analysis identified genes involved in innate and adaptive immune response, as well as iron binding and homeostasis, among others. Our results showed activation of pathogen recognition receptors, e.g., β-defensins, C-type lectins (e.g., dectin-1), Toll-like receptors (TLR-2, TLR-3, TLR-8, TLR-9 and TLR-13), as well as Ptx-3 and C-reactive protein among the soluble receptors. Upregulated transcripts encoding various differentiating cytokines and effector proinflammatory cytokines, as well as those encoding for chemokines and chemokine receptors, revealed Th-1 and Th-17-type immune responses. These studies form a basic dataset for experimental prioritization, including other target organs, to determine the global response of the host against Aspergillus infection.
