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 serves as a fundamental signal in biological systems. In some microbial pathogens of humans, mammalian body temperature triggers establishment and maintenance of a developmental program that allows the microbe to survive and thrive in the host. Histoplasma capsulatum is one of a group of fungal pathogens called thermally dimorphic fungi, all of which respond to mammalian body temperature by converting from an environmental mold form that inhabits the soil into a parasitic form that causes disease in the host. It has been known for decades that temperature is a key signal that is sufficient to trigger the switch from the soil to host form (and vice versa) in the laboratory. Recent molecular studies have identified a number of key regulators that are required to specify each of the developmental forms in response to temperature. Here we review the regulatory circuits that govern temperature-dependent dimorphism in Histoplasma.
