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

SCH 56592 (posaconazole), a new triazole antifungal agent, was tested in vitro, and its activity was compared to that of itraconazole against 39 Aspergillus strains and to that of fluconazole against 275 Candida and 9 Cryptococcus strains. The SCH 56592 MICs for Aspergillus ranged from </=0.002 to 0.5 microg/ml, and those of itraconazole ranged from </=0.008 to 1 microg/ml. The SCH 56592 MICs for Candida and Cryptococcus strains ranged from </=0. 004 to 16 microg/ml, and those of fluconazole ranged from </=0.062 to >64 microg/ml. SCH 56592 showed excellent activity against Aspergillus fumigatus and Aspergillus flavus in a pulmonary mouse infection model. When administered therapeutically, the 50% protective doses (PD(50)s) of SCH 56592 ranged from 3.6 to 29.9 mg/kg of body weight, while the PD(50)s of SCH 56592 administered prophylactically ranged from 0.9 to 9.0 mg/kg; itraconazole administered prophylactically was ineffective (PD(50)s, >75 mg/kg). SCH 56592 was also very efficacious against fluconazole-susceptible, -susceptible dose-dependent, or -resistant Candida albicans strains in immunocompetent or immunocompromised mouse models of systemic infection. The PD(50)s of SCH 56592 administered therapeutically ranged from 0.04 to 15.6 mg/kg, while the PD(50)s of SCH 56592 administered prophylactically ranged from 1.5 to 19.4 mg/kg. SCH 56592 has excellent potential for therapy against serious Aspergillus or Candida infections.
