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

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a global threat, especially in fungal pathogens. To optimize the use of available antifungals, we need rapid detection and monitoring tools that rely on high-quality AMR mutation data. Here we present FungAMR, a resource based on manual curation of 501 published studies on AMR mutations in clinically and agriculturally relevant fungal pathogens resulting in 35,792 entries covering 208 drugs, 246 genes and 95 fungal species. Each entry includes gene, mutation site and drug susceptibility data, with confidence scores indicating the strength of the supporting evidence. Data analysis revealed convergent mechanisms of resistance, indicating some potentially universal resistance mutations and mutations that lead to cross-resistance within and across antifungal classes. We also developed a computational tool, ChroQueTas, that leverages FungAMR to screen fungal genomes for AMR mutations. FungAMR is available as a web-searchable interface within the Comprehensive Antibiotic Resistance Database (CARD). These evolving resources promise to facilitate research on antifungal resistance.
