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

backgroundIron affects the diversity of the oral microbial landscape. Laboratory-strain CAI4 of

aimTo understand the effect of iron on the CAI4-strain, wild type (WT) SC5314-strain, and oral isolates of

methodsAn immunosuppressed murine model of OPC was used to assess the effect of iron on oral-to-gut infection and antifungal susceptibility of the CAI4-strain.

resultsHigh iron enhanced oral and gut fungal levels for the CAI4-strain in mice; CAI4 cells from low iron mice were more susceptible to antifungals. The SC5314-strain and oral isolates showed enhanced antifungal-resistance towards most antifungals tested, under high iron. Iron-mediated cell wall changes and phagocytic response in the SC5315-strain were similar to CAI4; oral isolates showed a variable response.

conclusionHost iron can potentially alter infection severity and dissemination, efficacy of antifungal treatment, and host immune response during OPC. Clinical isolates showed most of these effects of iron, despite exhibiting a varied cell wall composition-change response to iron.
