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 rate of Candida spp. infection is increasing, and resistance to azole antifungals is becoming increasingly common. Therefore, there is a need for discovery of new antifungal agents and for development of new modes of treatment using existing agents. In this in vitro study, the antifungal activity of two new imidazole derivatives was tested against a set of 20 Candida isolates, which included five different species. Treatment was carried out with the compound alone and in combination with fluconazole. Overall, we found that one of the new compounds, 31, was similar to fluconazole (FLC) in its efficacy against the Candida isolates and that compound 42 was superior to FLC. Furthermore, when combined with FLC, both compounds showed synergistic effects against 17 of the 20 tested isolates. No antagonistic interactions were observed. This study shows that our two new imidazole-derived compounds have good potential as general treatments for Candida infection and as a means to improve the current treatments with FLC.
