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 susceptibility of Aspergillus fumigatus to mulundocandin, an echinocandin-like compound, and other antifungal agents was assessed by the National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards (NCCLS) M38-P method, a 2,3-bis(2-methoxy-4-nitro-5-sulfophenyl)-5-[(phenyl-amino)carbonyl]-2H-tetrazolium hydroxide (XTT)-based colorimetric assay, and determination of morphologic alterations by microscopy. In contrast to the NCCLS M38-P method, which does not predict the activity in vivo, the XTT-based assay showed that A. fumigatus is susceptible to mulundocandin. Thus, the XTT-based assay might be useful for determination of the susceptibilities of molds to echinocandins. Further evaluation is warranted.
