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

Alkylated aminoglycosides and bisbenzimidazoles have previously been shown to individually display antifungal activity. Herein, we explore for the first time the antifungal activity (in liquid cultures and in biofilms) of ten alkylated aminoglycosides covalently linked to either mono- or bisbenzimidazoles. We also investigate their toxicity against mammalian cells, their hemolytic activity, and their potential mechanism(s) of action (inhibition of fungal ergosterol biosynthetic pathway and/or reactive oxygen species (ROS) production). Overall, many of our hybrids exhibited broad-spectrum antifungal activity. We also found them to be less cytotoxic to mammalian cells and less hemolytic than the FDA-approved antifungal agents amphotericin B and voriconazole, respectively. Finally, we show with our best derivative (8) that the mechanism of action of our compounds is not the inhibition of ergosterol biosynthesis, but that it involves ROS production in yeast cells.
