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

Fungi occupy a wide range of ecological niches in which they compete or associate with other organisms through the perception of external signals and appropriate cellular responses. Fungal G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are seven-transmembrane domain proteins that mediate the perception of extracellular cues. Despite their critical importance, the majority of fungal GPCRs are currently orphan receptors with unknown ligands and functions. In this review, we summarize the current knowledge on the role of fungal GPCRs in the perception of non-self signals and address persistent inconsistencies in the literature regarding fungal GPCR classification. We propose a refined system that differentiates between characterized, proposed, and uncharacterized GPCRs. Finally, we discuss how synthetic biology tools and experimental work in the native fungal organisms can elucidate the physiological role of fungal GPCRs during interspecies cell-cell communication.
