Molecular basis of cycloheximide resistance in the Ophiostomatales revealed.
Article in Current genetics, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Resistance to the antibiotic Cycloheximide has been reported for a number of fungal taxa. In particular, some yeasts are known to be highly resistant to this antibiotic. Early research showed that this resulted from a transition mutation in one of the 60S ribosomal protein genes. In addition to the yeasts, most genera and species in the Ophiostomatales are highly resistant to this antibiotic, which is widely used to selectively isolate these fungi. Whole-genome sequences are now available for numerous members of the Ophiostomatales providing an opportunity to determine whether the mechanism of resistance in these fungi is the same as that reported for yeast genera such as Kluyveromyces. We examined all the available genomes for the Ophiostomatales and discovered that a transition mutation in the gene coding for ribosomal protein eL42, which results in the substitution of the amino acid Proline to Glutamine, likely confers resistance to this antibiotic. This change across all genera in the Ophiostomatales suggests that the mutation arose early in the evolution of these fungi.
