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

aimsFungal infections are an increasing cause of mortality in immunosuppressed human patients, and antifungal drug treatments are still ineffective in a significant percentage of cases. A gap in our understanding of antifungal drug treatment is whether different drugs have differential efficacy in hosts that are experiencing different forms of immunosuppression. MATERIALS &

methodsHere, we used a larval zebrafish vertebrate host model of

resultsWe report that voriconazole and posaconazole are highly effective in all host backgrounds tested, while isavuconazole and itraconazole exhibit host-specific efficacy and toxicity. Repeated daily imaging of whole live larvae treated with posaconazole demonstrates that posaconazole treatment can prevent germination of

conclusionsThis study demonstrates the utility of the larval zebrafish host model for testing the efficacy of antifungal drugs in varied host backgrounds and determining the effects of these drugs on fungi living and growing inside infected hosts.
