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

backgroundMacrophages are the first line of defense against Talaromyces marneffei. CD86 is a surface molecule expressed on antigen-presenting cells, such as macrophages, that provide costimulatory signals necessary for T cell activation and survival. In a prior study, it was shown that as infection progressed, CD86 expression levels in macrophages considerably declined while CD86 concentrations in the supernatant significantly increased. Additionally, M1 macrophage polarization was insufficient and switched to M2 macrophage polarization. Besides costimulation, however, additional roles of CD86 are not known or well-studies. Therefore, we hypothesized that upregulating CD86 on macrophages might promote T. marneffei defense.

methodsA lentivirus vector, called Lenti-CD86, was used to infect THP-1 cells to overexpress secretory CD86. Through killing assay, nitric oxide detection, and cytokine detection, the capacity of THP-1 macrophages to phagocytose and kill T. marneffei was examined.

resultsIn the current study, Lenti-CD86 transfection of THP-1 cells resulted in a signifant expression of CD86. Additionally, the THP-1 macrophages stably transfected with Lenti-CD86 showed higher nitric oxide and IL-1β production, faster polarization, and stronger phagocytosis and killing capabilities than the non-transfected or control virus transfected cells.

conclusionOur study shows that lentivirus-mediated CD86 overexpression improves THP-1 macrophages' capacity to phagocytose and eliminate T. marneffei.
