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 activity of isavuconazole and nine antifungal comparator agents was assessed using reference broth microdilution methods against 1,421 common and uncommon species of Candida from a 2012 global survey. Isolates were identified using CHROMagar, biochemical methods and sequencing of ITS and/or 28S regions. Candida spp. were classified as either susceptible or resistant and as wild type (WT) or non-WT using CLSI clinical breakpoints or epidemiological cutoff values, respectively, for the antifungal agents. Isolates included 1,421 organisms from 21 different species of Candida. Among Candida spp., resistance to all 10 tested antifungal agents was low (0.0-7.9 %). The vast majority of each species of Candida, with the exception of Candida glabrata, Candida krusei, and Candida guilliermondii (modal MICs of 0.5 µg/ml), were inhibited by ≤0.12 µg/ml of isavuconazole (99.0 %; range 94.3 % [Candida tropicalis] to 100.0 % [Candida lusitaniae and Candida dubliniensis]). C. glabrata, C. krusei, and C. guilliermondii were largely inhibited by ≤1 µg/ml of isavuconazole (89.7, 96.9 and 92.8 %, respectively). Decreased susceptibility to isavuconazole was most prominent with C. glabrata where the modal MIC for isavuconazole was 0.5 µg/ml for those strains that were SDD to fluconazole or WT to voriconazole, and was 4 µg/ml for those that were either resistant or non-WT to fluconazole or voriconazole, respectively. In conclusion, these data document the activity of isavuconazole and generally the low resistance levels to the available antifungal agents in a large, contemporary (2012), global collection of molecularly characterized species of Candida.
