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

objectivesCandida species are major causes of invasive mycoses in immunocompetent and immunocompromised hosts. Treatment options are limited in the setting of antifungal resistance and increased rates of echinocandin-resistant Candida glabrata have been reported. The novel arylamidine T-2307 demonstrates potent in vitro antifungal activity against Candida species. Our objective was to evaluate the in vitro and in vivo activity of T-2307 against resistant C. glabrata.

methodsIn vitro activity was determined against 42 clinical C. glabrata isolates, including 17 echinocandin-resistant strains. Neutropenic ICR mice were inoculated intravenously with an echinocandin-resistant C. glabrata isolate (T-2307; caspofungin MICs ≤0.008 and 0.5 mg/L, respectively). Therapy with vehicle control, T-2307 (0.75, 1.5, 3 or 6 mg/kg subcutaneously once daily) or caspofungin (1 or 10 mg/kg intraperitoneally once daily) began 1 day post-challenge. Kidneys were collected on day 8 and fungal burden was assessed by counting cfu.

resultsT-2307 demonstrated potent in vitro activity against C. glabrata (geometric mean MIC 0.0135 mg/L), which was maintained against echinocandin-resistant isolates (geometric mean MIC 0.0083 mg/L). T-2307 also demonstrated in vivo efficacy in mice infected with echinocandin-resistant C. glabrata. Significant reductions in fungal burden were observed at each dosage level of T-2307 compared with control. Reductions in fungal burden were also observed with high-dose caspofungin.

conclusionsT-2307 demonstrated potent in vitro activity against C. glabrata, including echinocandin-resistant isolates, which translated into in vivo efficacy against invasive candidiasis caused by an echinocandin-resistant C. glabrata strain. These results demonstrate the potential for T-2307 as therapy against echinocandin-resistant Candida.
