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

Candida albicans can adapt and grow on sorbose plates by losing one copy of Chr5. Since rad52 mutants of Saccharomyces cerevisiae lose chromosomes at a high rate, we have investigated the ability of C. albicans rad52 to adapt to sorbose. Carad52-DeltaDelta mutants generate Sou(+) strains earlier than wild-type but the final yield is lower, probably because they die at a higher rate in sorbose. As other strains of C. albicans, CAF2 and rad52-DeltaDelta derivatives generate Sou(+) strains by a loss of one copy of Chr5 about 75% of the time. In addition, rad52 strains were able to produce Sou(+) strains by a fragmentation/deletion event in one copy of Chr5, consisting of loss of a region adjacent to the right telomere. Finally, both CAF2 and rad52-DeltaDelta produced Sou(+) strains with two apparent full copies of Chr5, suggesting that additional genomic changes may also regulate adaptation to sorbose.
