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 activities of nine antifungal drugs and their combinations against 31 clinical and 15 environmental Phialophora verrucosa strains were tested. The MIC90/90% minimum effective concentration (MIC/MEC90) values (μg/ml) across all strains were as follows: for terbinafine, 0.25; for posaconazole, 0.5; for voriconazole, 1; for itraconazole, 2; for amphotericin B, 4; for caspofungin and micafungin, 16; and for fluconazole and flucytosine, 64. The highest synergy was shown by the combination of itraconazole plus caspofungin (with synergy against 100% of the 31 clinical strains), followed by amphotericin B plus flucytosine (45.2%) and itraconazole plus terbinafine or micafungin (25.8% or 12.9%, respectively).
