MUC16-dependent Renal Vascular Adhesion of Candida Promotes Tissue Invasion and Predicts Clinical Outcome in Candidemia.
Article in Research square, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Bloodstream infection with Candida species is associated with high mortality, yet the molecular basis of vascular adhesion and invasion remains unclear. We identify the endothelial surface mucin MUC16 as a key host factor enabling fungal vascular adherence. The MUC16 SEA domain directly engages the Candida adhesin Als3p and endothelial N-cadherin to form a ternary complex that promotes endothelial attachment and vascular invasion. Genetic deletion of Muc16 in mice markedly reduced fungal vascular binding, renal fungal burden, and Ly6Ghi CD11b+ neutrophil recruitment following intravenous infection, and diminished oral colonization in an oral model. Inflammatory induction of MUC16 occurred via MINCLE-, TLR9-, and Dectin-1-dependent signaling, converging on CARD9. In clinical cohorts, a MUC16 T10155I variant and elevated circulating MUC16 were associated with increased 30-day mortality. These findings establish MUC16 as a mechanistic link between endothelial sensing and Candida vascular invasion, with prognostic relevance in candidemia.
