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

GDP-Mannose transporters are Golgi-localised solute carriers that are essential for the virulence of pathogenic fungi, serving as critical components of fungal glycosylation pathways. However, the mechanism by which nucleotide sugars are recognised and transported across the Golgi membrane remains unclear, hindering efforts to develop effective inhibitors that could serve as novel antifungal agents. Here, we present cryo-EM structures of the GDP-Mannose transporter, Vrg4, from
