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

Cryptococcus neoformans is the leading cause of fungal meningitis and is characterized by pathogenic eosinophil accumulation in the context of type-2 inflammation. The chemoattractant receptor GPR35 is expressed by granulocytes and promotes their migration to the inflammatory mediator 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA), a serotonin metabolite. Given the inflammatory nature of cryptococcal infection, we examined the role of GPR35 in the circuitry underlying cell recruitment to the lung. GPR35 deficiency dampened eosinophil recruitment and fungal growth, whereas overexpression promoted eosinophil homing to airways and fungal replication. Activated platelets and mast cells were the sources of GPR35 ligand activity and pharmacological inhibition of serotonin conversion to 5-HIAA, or genetic deficiency in 5-HIAA production by platelets and mast cells resulted in more efficient clearance of Cryptococcus. Thus, the 5-HIAA-GPR35 axis is an eosinophil chemoattractant receptor system that modulates the clearance of a lethal fungal pathogen, with implications for the use of serotonin metabolism inhibitors in the treatment of fungal infections.
