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

Signal transduction in human pathogenic fungi, like in other microorganisms, regulates a number of adaptive transcriptional responses to a variety of environmental cues. Among signal relay proteins, sensor, histidine kinase proteins (HK) are auto-phosphorylated upon perception of an environmental cue, and initiate a phosphorelay that results in transcriptional regulation of genes associated with specific stress signals or multiple stress cues. Human pathogenic fungi utilize HK proteins to adapt to stress, grow, sporulate, undergo morphogenesis, mate, sense anti-fungal drugs, and cause disease. While much is known about HK and RR proteins functionally, the MAPK pathways and downstream transcription factors and gene targets are largely unstudied in human pathogenic fungi. However, as HK proteins are broadly conserved and not apparently in humans, we suggest that they offer exploitation as new targets in anti-fungal drug discovery.
