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

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are highly reactive molecules encountered by yeasts during routine metabolism and during interactions with other organisms, including host infection. Here, we characterize the variation in resistance to the ROS-inducing compound tert-butyl hydroperoxide across the ancient yeast subphylum Saccharomycotina and use machine learning (ML) to identify gene families whose sizes are predictive of ROS resistance. The most predictive features are enriched in gene families related to cell wall organization and include two reductase gene families. We estimate the quantitative contributions of features to each species' classification to guide experimental validation and show that overexpression of the old yellow enzyme (OYE) reductase increases ROS resistance in Kluyveromyces lactis, while Saccharomyces cerevisiae mutants lacking multiple mannosyltransferase-encoding genes are hypersensitive to ROS. Altogether, this work provides a framework for how ML can uncover genetic mechanisms underlying trait variation across diverse species and inform trait manipulation for clinical and biotechnological applications.
