Differential Impact of Ergosterol on Yeast Membranes Exposed to Membrane-Targeting Antimicrobial Compounds.
Article in Chembiochem : a European journal of chemical biology, 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
Concerns with fungal plant pathogen resistance to fungicides require sustainable alternatives. Model yeast lipid membranes were used to assess the role of ergosterol in the activity of antimicrobials known to affect biomembranes. Results showed that nystatin decreased yeast liposome stability as ergosterol content increased, whereas iturin effects were consistently high, but did not appear to be affected by ergosterol content. Nisin tended to decrease yeast liposome stability as ergosterol content increased, albeit much less than nystatin, and caused increased liposome size at lower ergosterol content. ζ-Potential values indicated that liposomes were highly stable to surfactin, regardless of the overall impact of the tested ergosterol concentrations. There was an increase in liposome stability to fengycin with increased ergosterol content. The findings provide insights into the role of ergosterol in the efficacy and mechanistic activity of these antimicrobials.
