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

backgroundSAP2 is closely associated with the pathogenicity and drug resistance of Candida albicans (C. albicans). Our study aimed to construct C. albicans with SAP2 overexpression (pRB895-SAP2-SC5314) to explore the influence of SAP2 on the adhesion of C. albicans and predict the interaction between magnolol and Sap2 by molecular docking.

methodsThe recombinant plasmid pRB895-SAP2 with high SAP2 expression was prepared using a plasmid extraction kit and transformed into C. albicans strain SC5314 using an improved lithium acetate conversion method to construct PRB895-SAP2-SC5314. Quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was performed to detect the expression of adhesion-related genes in the different strains. Molecular docking and visual analysis of magnolol and Sap2 were performed using the CB-DOCK2 platform.

resultsCompared with the control SC5341 and SC5341 transfected with pRB895, SAP2 expression was significantly higher in the pRB895-SAP2-SC5314 strain (p < 0.05). Based on the sequencing and mapping results, the pRB895-SAP2-SC5314 strain was successfully prepared. SAP2 overexpression significantly downregulated ALS1 expression (p < 0.05), whereas ALS3, TEC1, HOG1, PHR1, and TUP1 expression was downregulated in C. albicans (p < 0.05). The optimal docking result for magnolol and Sap2 protein was -8.1 kcal/mol of vina score, which was considered good docking.

conclusionsSAP2 overexpression may strengthen the adhesion and pathogenicity of C. albicans, and magnolol may act as an Sap2 inhibitor that affects the adhesion of C. albicans.
