Central Nervous System-Infecting Pathogens Escherichia coli and Cryptococcus neoformans Exploit the Host Pdlim2 for Intracellular Traversal and Exocytosis in the Blood-Brain Barrier.
Article in Infection and immunity, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Microbial penetration of the blood-brain barrier, a prerequisite for the development of central nervous system (CNS) infection, involves microbial invasion, intracellular traversal, and exocytosis. Microbial invasion of the blood-brain barrier has been investigated, but the molecular basis for microbial traversal and exit from the blood-brain barrier remains unknown. We performed transcriptome analysis of human brain microvascular endothelial cells (HBMEC) infected with Escherichia coli and Cryptococcus neoformans, representative bacterial and fungal pathogens common in CNS infections. Among the targets upregulated in response to E. coli and C. neoformans infection,
