Pretreatment with Antibiotics Impairs Th17-Mediated Antifungal Immunity in Newborn Rats.
Article in Inflammation, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Clinical studies have confirmed that the use of antibiotics, especially carbapenems, is a high-risk factor for fungal infection in preterm infants. However, it is not entirely clear whether the increased risk for fungal infection is due to the immune differences in preterm infants or antibiotic usage. We found that after newborn rats received antibiotics, they exhibited significantly impaired anti-Candida albicans immunity in comparison with those without treatment, as shown by significantly increased levels of fungal glucan in the peripheral blood, multiple caseous fungal infections in the abdominal cavity, intestinal congestion, ischemia, and a decrease in the number of intestinal villi. Mechanistically, pretreatment with antibiotics diminished antifungal innate immunity by TLR2 and inhibited IL-17A release and neutrophil recruitment, leading to increased susceptibility to fungi. In summary, we demonstrate that antibiotic usage impairs antifungal immunity in neonates and suggest that antifungal prophylaxis may be required after antibiotic treatment in high-risk preterm babies.
