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

Shared enzymatic targets between azoles used in agriculture as fungicides and clinical antifungals are hypothesized to have led to the drift of resistant fungal isolates from field to clinic, reducing efficacy of azoles in infectious disease treatment. Recent discovery of a novel herbicide, tetflupyrolimet, and a potential clinical antifungal, olorofim, both targeting dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (DHODH), raises concern that widespread use of tetflupyrolimet may similarly cause clinical resistance to olorofim in Aspergillus isolates migrating from agricultural settings. Using minimum inhibitory concentration analysis on Aspergillus subspecies, enzymatic assays of recombinant DHODH, and a series of DHODH knockout yeast strains complemented with various DHODH orthologs, we demonstrate that tetflupyrolimet is highly selective for plant DHODH over Aspergillus DHODH. Based on the inability of tetflupyrolimet to inhibit Aspergillus DHODH or hinder growth of various Aspergillus species, the data demonstrate that risk of olorofim resistance developing in Aspergillus due to agrochemical use of the herbicide tetflupyrolimet is minimal.
