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

Chitin is one of the key components of fungal cell wall, and chitin deacetylases (CDAs) have been found in fungi; however, their functions remain unknown. Aspergillus fumigatus is known to cause fatal invasive aspergillosis (IA) among immunocompromised patients with a high mortality rate. Although the A. fumigatus cell wall has long been taken as a unique target for drug development, its dynamic remodeling is complicated and not well understood. Seven putative CDAs are annotated in the A. fumigatus genome. In this study, we analyzed the function of the putative CDAs, Cod4 and Cod7, in A. fumigatus. Biochemical analysis of recombinant proteins showed that Cod4 preferentially deacetylated (GlcNAc)
