Trim72 is a major host factor protecting against lethal Candida albicans infection.
Article in PLoS pathogens, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Candida albicans is the most common aetiologic pathogen of fungal infections associated with high mortality in immunocompromised patients. There is an urgent need to develop new antifungal therapies owing to the poor efficacy and resistance of current antifungals. Here, we report that Trim72 positively regulates antifungal immunity during lethal fungal infection. Trim72 levels are significantly increased after Candida albicans infection. In vivo, Trim72 knockout significantly increases mortality, organ fungal burden and kidney damage in mice after lethal Candida albicans infection. Whereas recombinant Trim72 protein treatment protects mice against invasive candidiasis. Mechanistically, Trim72 facilitates macrophage infiltration and CCL2 production, which mediates Trim72-elicited protection against lethal Candida albicans infection. Furthermore, Trim72 may enhance macrophage migration and CCL2 production via NF-κB and ERK1/2 signaling. Inhibition of NF-κB and ERK1/2 signaling abrogates Trim72-mediated protection against lethal Candida albicans infection. Therefore, these data imply that Trim72 may be developed as a host-directed therapy for treating severe systemic candidiasis.
