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 in vitro and in vivo antifungal activities of T-2307, a novel arylamidine, were evaluated and compared with those of fluconazole, voriconazole, micafungin, and amphotericin B. T-2307 exhibited broad-spectrum activity against clinically significant pathogens, including Candida species (MIC range, 0.00025 to 0.0078 microg/ml), Cryptococcus neoformans (MIC range, 0.0039 to 0.0625 microg/ml), and Aspergillus species (MIC range, 0.0156 to 4 microg/ml). Furthermore, T-2307 exhibited potent activity against fluconazole-resistant and fluconazole-susceptible-dose-dependent Candida albicans strains as well as against azole-susceptible strains. T-2307 exhibited fungicidal activity against some Candida and Aspergillus species and against Cryptococcus neoformans. In mouse models of disseminated candidiasis, cryptococcosis, and aspergillosis, the 50% effective doses of T-2307 were 0.00755, 0.117, and 0.391 mg.kg(-1).dose(-1), respectively. This agent was considerably more active than micafungin and amphotericin B against candidiasis and than amphotericin B against cryptococcosis, and its activity was comparable to the activities of micafungin and amphotericin B against aspergillosis. The results of preclinical in vitro and in vivo evaluations performed thus far indicate that T-2307 could represent a potent injectable agent for the treatment of candidiasis, cryptococcosis, and aspergillosis.
