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

We used transcription profiling in Candida albicans to investigate cellular regulation involving cAMP. We found that many genes require the adenylyl cyclase Cdc35p for proper expression. These include genes encoding ribosomal subunit proteins and RNA polymerase subunit proteins, suggesting that growth could be controlled in part by cAMP-mediated modulation of gene expression. Other genes influenced by loss of adenylyl cyclase are involved in metabolism, the cell wall, and stress response and include a group of genes of unknown function that are unique to C. albicans. The profiles generated by loss of the adenylyl cyclase regulator Ras1p and a downstream effector Efg1p were also examined. The loss of Ras1p function disturbs the expression of a subset of the genes regulated by adenylyl cyclase, suggesting both that the primary role of Ras1p in transcriptional regulation involves its influence on the function of Cdc35p and that there are Ras1p independent roles for Cdc35p. The transcription factor Efg1p is also needed for the expression of many genes; however, these genes are distinct from those modulated by Cdc35p with the exception of a class of hyphal-specific genes. Therefore transcription profiling establishes that cAMP plays a key role in the overall regulation of gene expression in C. albicans, and enhances our detailed understanding of the circuitry controlling this regulation.
