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

The susceptibility to several oligopeptide and amino acid antifungals of a Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain carrying multiple deletions in yeast multidrug resistance genes was compared to transformants containing the CDR1, CDR2, or MDR1 genes that encode the major Candida albicans drug efflux pumps. Recombinant yeast strains overexpressing Cdr1p and Cdr2p showed enhanced susceptibilities to all tested oligopeptide antifungals. The enhanced susceptibilities of multidrug-resistant yeast strains to oligopeptide antifungals corresponded to higher rates of oligopeptide uptake. Yeast cells overexpressing Cdr1p or Cdr2p effluxed protons at higher rates than the reference cells lacking these ABC transporters. An increased plasma membrane electrochemical gradient caused by the functional overexpression of Cdr1p or Cdr2p appeared to increase cellular susceptibility to oligopeptide antifungals by stimulating their uptake via oligopeptide permeases.
