Global cell surface conformational shift mediated by a Candida albicans adhesin.
Article in Infection and immunity, 2004. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 51 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
Candida albicans maintains both commensal and pathogenic states in humans. Both states are dependent on cell surface-expressed adhesins, including those of the Als family. Heterologous expression of Als5p at the surface of Saccharomyces cerevisiae results in Als5p-mediated adhesion to various ligands, followed by formation of multicellular aggregates. Following adhesion of one region of the cell to fibronectin-coated beads, the entire surface of the cells became competent to mediate cell-cell aggregation. Aggregates formed in the presence of metabolic inhibitors or signal transduction inhibitors but were reduced in the presence of 8-anilino-1-naphthalene-sulfonic acid (ANS) or Congo Red (CR), perturbants that inhibit protein structural transitions. These perturbants also inhibited aggregation of C. albicans. An increase in ANS fluorescence, which accompanied Als-dependent cellular adhesion, indicated an increase in cell surface hydrophobicity. In addition, C. albicans and Als5p-expressing S. cerevisiae showed an aggregation-induced birefringence indicative of order on the cell surface. The increase in birefringence did not occur in the presence of the aggregation disruptants ANS and CR. These results suggest a model for Als5p-mediated aggregation in which an adhesion-triggered change in the conformation of Als5p propagates around the cell surface, forming ordered aggregation-competent regions.
