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

Ergosterol plays a dual role in fungal pathogenesis and azole resistance, driving key advancements in the understanding of its biosynthesis regulation. This review integrates the latest research progress on the regulation of fungal ergosterol biosynthesis and its role in drug resistance and pathogenicity. We comprehensively discuss the functions of key enzymes (such as Erg11p/Cyp51A, Erg6p, Erg3p, and Erg25p) in the mevalonate, late, and alternative pathways. Notably, we highlight the complex regulation of
