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 interaction of miltefosine with amphotericin B, sodium stibogluconate, paromomycin, and sitamaquine was assessed in vitro and additionally for the first three combinations in vivo. In vitro interactions were indifferent for miltefosine combined with amphotericin B (mean sums of fractional inhibitory concentrations [mean summation operatorFICs] ranging from 1.22 to 1.51 at the 50% effective concentration [EC50] level and 1.08 to 1.38 at the EC90 level), sitamaquine (mean summation operatorFICs from 1.33 to 1.38 and 1.0 to 1.02, respectively), and paromomycin (mean summation operatorFICs from 0.79 to 0.93 at the EC50 and 0.77 to 1.35 at the EC90 level). Some synergy was observed for miltefosine combined with sodium stibogluconate (mean summation operatorFICs from 0.61 to 0.75 at EC50 and 0.49 to 0.97 at EC90). Different interactions were found in vivo, where the highest potentiation of miltefosine activity was achieved with amphotericin B (activity enhancement index [AEI] of up to 11.3). No significant interaction was observed when miltefosine was combined with sodium stibogluconate (AEI of up to 2.38). The potentiation of miltefosine in vivo was also achieved with the combination of miltefosine and paromomycin (AEI of up to 7.22).
