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

Long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) are non-protein-coding transcripts greater than 200 nucleotides that regulate gene expression. The field of transcriptomics is only beginning to understand the role of lncRNA in host defense. Little is known about the role of lncRNA in the response to infection by intracellular pathogens such as Toxoplasma gondii. Using a microarray, we examined the differential expression of 35,923 lncRNAs and 24,881 mRNAs in mouse bone-marrow-derived macrophages during infection with high- and low-virulence T. gondii strains. We found that 1,522 lncRNA molecules were differentially regulated during infection with the high-virulence Type I strain, versus 528 with the less-virulent Type II strain. Of these lncRNAs, 282 were co-regulated with a nearby or overlapping mRNA-including approximately 60 mRNAs with immune-related functions. We validated the microarray for 4 lncRNAs and 4 mRNAs using qRT-PCR. Using deletion strains of T. gondii, we found that the secretory kinase ROP16 controls upregulation of lncRNAs Csf1-lnc and Socs2-lnc, demonstrating that the parasite directly manipulates host lncRNA expression. Given the number of regulated lncRNAs and the magnitude of the expression changes, we hypothesize that these molecules constitute both an additional regulatory layer in the host response to infection and a target for manipulation by T. gondii.
