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 (C. albicans) is an opportunistic pathogen increasingly causing candidiasis worldwide. This study aims to investigate the pattern of systemic immune responses triggered by C. albicans with disease associated variation of Sap2, identifying the novel evasion strategies utilized by clinical isolates. Specifically, a variation in clinical isolates is identified at nucleotide position 817 (G to T). This homozygous variation causes the 273rd amino acid exchange from valine to leucine, close to the proteolytic activation center of Sap2. The mutant (Sap2-273L) generated from SC5314 (Sap2-273V) background carrying the V273L variation within Sap2 displays higher pathogenicity. In comparison to mice infected with Sap2-273V strain, mice infected with Sap2-273L exhibit less complement activation indicated by less serum C3a generation and weaker C3b deposition in the kidney. This inhibitory effect is mainly achieved by Sap2
