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

Candida species are now taken as one of the essential opportunistic pathogens in clinical specimens. Although Candida albicans is one of the most essential opportunistic pathogens, non-albicans Candida (NAC) should not be taken for granted because these microorganisms are among the most common pathogens in patients today, leading to diseases, such as candidiasis, gastrointestinal tract infection, and vulvovaginitis. Fungal agents produce secreted aspartic proteinases (SAPs) to penetrate tissues. SAPs facilitate the invasion and colonization of host tissue by rupturing host mucosal membranes. They play an important role in weakening the structural and immunological defense proteins. The aim of this study was to compare the expression of SAP 1-3 genes in NAC isolated from different samples. We isolated the NAC such as Candida parapsilosis (C. parapsilosis), Candida tropicalis (C. tropicalis), Pichia kudriavzevii (P. kudriavzevii), and Nakaseomyces glabrata (N. glabrata) from two different sources of bovine raw milk and human samples. Then, we compared the expression of SAP1, SAP2, and SAP3 genes in both samples by quantitative reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). The results of gene expression showed that expression of the genes SAP2 and SAP3 was different in C. parapsilosis detected from raw milk and human samples. The expression of SAP2 was significantly decreased in human samples (**p < 0.01), whereas the expression of SAP3 was significantly increased in human samples (*p < 0.05). In some cases, the expression of these genes was similar among N. glabrata, P. kudriavzevii, and C. tropicalis. The expression of SAP2 and SAP3 genes in the same species of NAC from various sources is different.
