Molecular analysis and computational modeling reveal temporally separable responses triggered by DENV-induced soluble factors in endothelial cells.
Article in PloS one, 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
Dengue virus (DENV) represents a growing global health challenge with billions of people at risk. Severe Dengue (SD), a complication of DENV infection that involves generalized hemorrhage, is driven, at least in part, by endothelial dysfunction. Endothelial dysfunction refers to increased permeability due to inflammation, mechanical injury and/or modification of the genetic program of endothelial cells. Previous work showed that exposure of endothelial cells to conditioned media from DENV-infected cells (CMDV) increased permeability and cellular stiffness, repressed endothelial markers and induced mesenchymal genes. However, the generality, extent, mechanism and ultimate impact of these events in the onset of SD remain elusive. Here, we integrate analysis from in vitro treatment of endothelial cells with media containing UV-inactivated DENV with computational modeling to investigate the key features of CMDV-induced endothelial alterations and their potential impact on endothelial dysfunction. We found that CMDV increased SNA1 and CDH2 expression, while suppressing endothelial genes OCLN and CDH5. Global transcriptomics analysis revealed that CMDV triggered a transient pro-inflammatory response, followed by induction of selected tissue repair genes and matrix remodeling. A non-directed asynchronous network model (NDAM-CMDV) identified IL6 and FN1 as central nodes of DENV-induced endothelial trans-differentiation, providing new molecular insights that predict the evolution of the disease and identify potential therapeutic targets.
