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

We evaluated the in vitro activities of anidulafungin, micafungin, and caspofungin against Candida krusei by determining MIC and minimum fungicidal concentration (MFC) measurements and by the time-kill method. The geometric mean (GM)-MIC/GM-MFC values were 0.1/0.34, 0.25/0.44, and 1/2.29, respectively. The mean times to reach 99.9% growth reduction were 19.1 +/- 18.2 h (mean +/- standard deviation) for 2 mg/liter anidulafungin, 37.4 +/- 8.8 h for 2 mg/liter caspofungin, and 30.7 +/- 12.2 h for 1 mg/liter micafungin. Anidulafungin exhibited the highest time-kill rate, followed by micafungin. The three echinocandins showed fungicidal activity at concentrations reached in serum.
