Biotyping of Penicillium marneffei reveals concentration-dependent growth inhibition by galactose.
Article in Journal of clinical microbiology, 2001. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Thirty-two isolates of the dimorphic fungus Penicillium marneffei were studied for their biochemical properties. All isolates possessed the enzyme urease and were inhibited by 500 mg of cycloheximide per liter. No strain fermented glucose, and thus no strain fermented any of the other five sugars tested. All assimilated glucose, maltose, and cellobiose; only one of the isolates did not assimilate salicin. Totals of 65.6, 84.4, and 71.9% of the isolates assimilated trehalose, xylose, and nitrate, respectively. Twelve strains possessed the enzyme beta-galactosidase. Overall, 17 different biotypes were recognized, but no association was found between the human immunodeficiency virus status of the patients and the biotype. A novel finding of concentration-dependent growth inhibition of P. marneffei by galactose is described. Inhibition of growth occurred at a low concentration of galactose (0.015 to 0.25%) when galactose was the sole carbon source in the medium. Morphological changes of the fungal cells were observed in the presence of galactose.
