Metals and the cell surface of Cryptococcus neoformans.
Review in Current opinion in microbiology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
Recent studies in pathogenic yeasts reinforce our appreciation of the influence of metal homeostasis on the fungal cell surface. To illustrate this influence, we focus on recent studies on Cryptococcus neoformans, a fungal pathogen with a complex surface of a cell wall with embedded melanin and an attached polysaccharide capsule. Copper and iron are essential yet toxic metals, and current efforts demonstrate the importance of these metals for modulating the surface structure of C. neoformans cells in ways that contribute to fungal-host interactions during disease in vertebrate hosts. In this review, we briefly summarize mechanisms of acquisition and regulation for copper and iron, and then discuss recent insights into the connections between the metals and the cell surface.
