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

Mucoralean fungi could cause mucormycosis in humans, particularly in immunodeficient individuals and those with diabetes mellitus or trauma. With plenty of species and genera, their molecular identification and pathogenicity have a large deviation. Reported cases of mucormycosis showed frequent occurrence in Rhizopus species, Mucor species, and Lichtheimia species. We analyzed the whole genome sequences of 25 species of the top 10 Mucorales genera, along with another 22 important pathogenic non-Mucorales species, to dig the target genes for monitoring Mucorales species and identify potential genomic imprints of virulence in them. Mucorales-specific genes have been found in various orthogroups extracted by Python script, while genus-specific genes were annotated covering cellular structure, biochemistry metabolism, molecular processing, and signal transduction. Proteins related to the virulence of Mucorales species varied with distinct significance in copy numbers, in which Orthofinder was conducted. Based on our fresh retrospective analysis of mucormycosis, a comparative genomic analysis of pathogenic Mucorales was conducted in more frequent pathogens. Specific orthologs between Mucorales and non-Mucoralean pathogenic fungi were discussed in detail. Referring to the previously reported virulence proteins, we included more frequent pathogenic Mucorales and compared them in Mucorales species and non-Mucorales species. Besides, more samples are needed to further verify the potential target genes.
