Coordinated Regulation of Membrane Homeostasis and Drug Accumulation by Novel Kinase STK-17 in Response to Antifungal Azole Treatment.

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.
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
The emergence of antifungal resistance, especially to the most widely used azole class of ergosterol biosynthesis inhibitors, makes fungal infections difficult to treat in clinics and agriculture. When exposed to azoles, fungi can make adaptive responses to alleviate azole toxicity and produce azole tolerance. However, except for azole efflux pumps and ergosterol biosynthesis genes, the role of most azole responsive genes in azole resistance is unknown. In this study, STK-17, whose transcription is upregulated by azoles, was characterized as a novel kinase that is required for azole resistance. Deletion or dysfunction of STK-17 led to azole hypersensitivity in Neurospora crassa and to other ergosterol biosynthesis inhibitors such as amorolfine, terbinafine, and amphotericin B, but not fatty acid and ceramide biosynthesis inhibitors. STK-17 was also required for oxidative stress resistance, but this was not connected to azole resistance. RNA-seq results showed that
