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

Mucormycosis is a severe fungal infection that demands immediate and decisive intervention upon suspicion. The causative agents of mucormycosis exhibit inherent resistance to echinocandins and voriconazole, and their in vitro susceptibility to terbinafine is highly variable and species-specific. Considering these factors and the limitations of currently available antifungal therapies, the identification of novel antifungals with potent activity against mucormycosis is of paramount importance. This study aims to identify compounds from the MMV Pathogen Box® presenting antifungal activity against selected mucormycosis agents and to evaluate their potential synergistic effects when combined with antifungal drugs. A screening of the Pathogen Box® compounds was conducted, isolated or in combination with sub-inhibitory concentrations of amphotericin B, isavuconazole or posaconazole, against a
