Microreview: capsule-associated genes of Cryptococcus neoformans.
Review in Mycopathologia, 2007. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
Cryptococcosis, caused by Cryptococcus neoformans is a common systemic mycosis in man and animals, particularly immunocompromised patients. This pathogenic fungus produces a thick extracellular polysaccharide capsule. Four capsule-associated genes (CAP10, CAP59, CAP60, CAP64) were cloned and sequenced, and proved to be essential for capsule synthesis. However biochemical functions of CAP gene products have not been clarified yet. Recently, the relatedness of the polysaccharide capsule and four capsule-associated genes has partly been elucidated. Nucleotide sequence of four CAP gene fragments was analyzed for phylogenetic relationships, and they were in agreement with the conventional classification of varieties and serotypes within C. neoformans. Expression of four CAP genes and capsule size were examined using two media containing different amount of glucose, and the results indicated that CAP genes might play important roles in elaboration of extracellular polysaccharide capsule. Furthermore, analyses of CAP genes in various clinical samples would give the useful information to diagnose cryptococcosis in human and animals.
