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 a leading cause of fungal infections in immunocompromised patients. Management of candidemia relies on a few antifungal agents, with fluconazole being first line therapy. The emergence of fluconazole-resistant strains highlights the pressing need to improve our molecular understanding of the drug response mechanisms. By sequencing the 5'P mRNA degradation intermediates, we establish that co-translational mRNA decay occurs in C. albicans and characterize how in vivo 5´-3´ exonuclease degradation trails the last translating ribosome. Thus, the study of the 5' Phosphorylated mRNA degradome (5PSeq) offers a simple and affordable way to measure ribosome dynamics and identify codon specific ribosome stalls in response to drugs and amino acid deprivation. Building upon this, we combine RNA-Seq and 5PSeq to study the early response of sensitive and resistant C. albicans isolates to fluconazole. Our results highlight that transcriptional responses, rather than changes in ribosome dynamics, are the main driver of Candida resistance to fluconazole.
