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

Trichosporon asahii (T. asahii) is a clinically important opportunistic pathogenic fungus capable of causing systemic lethal infection in immunosuppressive and immunodeficient hosts. However, the mechanism of the host immune response upon T. asahii infection has not been elucidated. Recent evidence has shown that long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) play key roles in regulating the immune response to resist microbial infections. In this study, we analyzed the expression profiles of lncRNAs at 12 and 24 h post-infection (hpi) in THP-1 cells infected with T. asahii using RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq). A total of 64 and 160 lncRNAs displayed significant differentially expressed (DE) at 12 h and 24 hpi, respectively. Among these lncRNAs, 18 lncRNAs were continuous DE at two time points. The DE of eight candidate lncRNAs were verified by real time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). Gene ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway analyses were performed to analyze the cis-target genes of 18 DE lncRNAs. The results showed that they were enriched in signaling pathways related to the host immune response, indicating that these lncRNAs might play important roles in fungi-host interactions. Finally, we explored the function of lncRNA NEAT1 and found that the expression of TNF-α and IL-1β declined after NEAT1 knockdown in T. asahii-infected THP-1 cells. To our knowledge, this is the first report of a expression analysis of lncRNAs in macrophages infected with T. asahii. Our study helps to elucidate the role of lncRNAs in the host immune response to early infection by T. asahii.
