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

Temperature change is a ubiquitous environmental signal, which exerts powerful control over the development and virulence of microbial pathogens. For Candida albicans, the leading fungal pathogen of humans, temperature influences mating, phenotypic switching, resistance to antifungal drugs and the morphogenetic transition from yeast to filamentous growth. C. albicans morphogenesis is profoundly influenced by temperature, and most filament-inducing cues depend on a concurrent increase in temperature to 37°C before morphogenesis can occur, although the molecular mechanisms underpinning this temperature-dependent developmental transition remain largely unknown. We established that the thermally responsive molecular chaperone Hsp90 orchestrates temperature-dependent morphogenesis, via previously uncharacterized cellular circuitry, comprised of the cyclin-dependent kinase Pho85, the cyclin Pcl1 and the transcriptional regulator Hms1. Here we elaborate on Hsp90's pleiotropic effects on temperature-dependent morphogenetic circuitry, and highlight how changes in protein form and function in response to stress complements the diverse repertoire of mechanisms of microbial temperature sensing.
