CanDRes: Exploring the Mutation Landscape of Candida and its Role in Antifungal Resistance.
Article in Infection, 2026. 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
purposeCandida spp. has emerged as major fungal pathogens, especially in immunocompromised individuals, posing significant challenges in clinical settings. Their growing prevalence and increasing resistance to antifungal agents underscore the urgent need for systematic investigation into resistance mechanisms. Constant monitoring of resistance-associated mutations is essential to mitigate drug resistance and develop effective therapeutic strategies.
methodWe developed CanDRes, a manually curated, open-access resource cataloging mutations linked to antifungal resistance in Candida spp. Mutations were systematically compiled from published literature, focusing on those identified in drug-resistant clinical isolates. Each entry was annotated with gene-level information, drug associations, organism specificity, resistance mechanisms, and evidence-based validation scores. 3D structures of mutant proteins were developed and are available for download from the CanDRes database.
resultsCanDRes encompasses 1053 unique mutations across 56 genes from drug-resistant strains of 13 Candida spp., assessed against 19 antifungal drugs. The database also includes resistance mechanisms, protein sequences, predicted 3D structural models, and mutation plots. These data provide a valuable foundation for understanding molecular resistance patterns and for guiding therapeutic decision-making.
conclusionOur study emphasizes the critical need to investigate antifungal resistance in Candida spp., which are among the most clinically challenging fungal pathogens. Understanding the mechanisms driving resistance to frontline antifungals can improve treatment strategies. CanDRes serves as a free and accessible resource for clinicians and researchers aiming to address antifungal resistance. Users can access CanDRes via https://candres.bicnirrh.res.in/ .
