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

The BENr gene of Candida albicans, which confers resistance on susceptible strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae to six structurally and functionally unrelated drugs, was described recently (R. Ben-Yaacov, S. Knoller, G. Caldwell, J. M. Becker, and Y. Koltin, Antimicrob. Agents Chemother. 38:648-652, 1994). This gene bears similarity to membrane proteins encoding antibiotic resistance in prokaryotes and eukaryotes. The effect of disruption of this gene on viability and drug susceptibility was determined. The results indicate that the gene is not essential but its inactivation leads to susceptibility to three of the four drugs tested. Inactivation of this gene did not increase the susceptibility of the mutant to benomyl, suggesting that C. albicans has other mechanisms of resistance, some of which may be additional efflux pumps that confer resistance to this tubulin-destabilizing agent.
