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

Antifungal resistance caused by mutations of the drug target, overexpression of the drug target, and drug efflux by the upregulation of transporters is increasingly common. Recently our understanding of fungal drug resistance has been advanced by the identification of three key transcriptional regulators of resistance: Tac1p, Upc2p, and Mrr1p. The discovery of hyperactive variants of these regulators in resistant clinical isolates confirms the importance of transcriptional regulation in the development of antifungal resistance. Alternative mechanisms of drug resistance including aneuploidy and biofilm formation have recently been documented in fungi; as well as the phenomenon of drug tolerance. Characterization of the transcriptional regulation of fungal drug resistance and the identification of novel mechanisms of resistance has implications for current therapy and for the development of future antifungal drugs.
