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

Candida albicans is among the most significant human fungal pathogens. However, the vast majority of C. albicans studies have focused on a single clinical isolate and its marked derivatives. We investigated natural variation among clinical C. albicans isolates in gene regulatory control of biofilm formation, a process crucial to virulence. The transcription factor Efg1 is required for biofilm-associated gene expression and biofilm formation. Previously, we found extensive variation in Efg1-responsive gene expression among 5 diverse clinical isolates. However, chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing analysis showed that Efg1 binding to genomic loci was uniform among the isolates. Functional dissection of strain differences identified three transcription factors, Brg1, Tec1, and Wor1, for which small changes in expression levels reshaped the Efg1 regulatory network. Brg1 and Tec1 are known biofilm activators, and their role in Efg1 network variation may be expected. However, Wor1 is a known repressor of
