The transcription factor CgHaa1 plays a role in virulence of the pathogenic yeast Candida glabrata.
Article in FEMS yeast research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Candida glabrata is a prominent causative agent of mucosal and disseminated human infections. Part of the success of C. glabrata as a human pathogen relies on its adherence capacity and ability to tolerate/surpass the activity of immune cells. Herein we describe the involvement of the transcription factor CgHaa1 and of its regulated genes CgAWP12, CgAWP13, CAGL0H07469 g, and CAGL0K10164 g in adherence of C. glabrata to vaginal cells in the presence of acetic acid, an organic acid usually found in this niche due to the activity of commensal bacteria. CgHaa1 and its target genes CgAWP12, CAGL0K10164 g and CAGL0E03740 g were also found to significantly increase C. glabrata-induced killing of the model wax moth Galleria mellonela, in part by modulating the interaction of the yeasts with the larvae's immune cells. Finally, we show that CgHAA1 expression reduces ingestion and subsequent killing of C. glabrata cells by THP-1 human macrophages. This demonstrated role of CgHaa1 in C. glabrata virulence and interaction with immune cells expands the biological role of this regulator positioning it (and its target genes) as a potential interesting candidate target for new therapies focused on reducing the burden of candidiasis.
