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

Anidulafungin is an antifungal drug belonging to the echinocandin class with a potent in vitro fungicidal activity against a wide range of Candida species, including C. glabrata and C. krusei. Anidulafungin is also active in vitro against moulds belonging to the genus Aspergillus and some dematiaceous genera. Furthermore, anidulafungin demonstrates in vitro activity against Candida spp. growing as biofilms. Resistance to anidulafungin remains very rare based on recent epidemiological data. Paradoxical or trailing effects should be considered in echinocandin susceptibility testing. The in vitro activity profile of anidulafungin makes it a useful addition to the Italian antifungal armamentarium.
