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

Fungal virulence factors (VFs) are proteins that support host colonization, tissue invasion, immune modulation, and disease progression. Identifying candidate VFs across pathogenic fungi can help characterize mechanisms underlying fungal-host interactions and prioritize proteins for experimental investigation. We developed FunVFPred, a machine learning framework that uses UniRep protein sequence embeddings, and multiple classifiers to predict candidate fungal VFs. Using experimentally validated VFs from human-pathogenic
