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

Candida albicans is a commensal yeast able to cause life threatening invasive infections particularly in immunocompromised patients. Despite the availability of antifungal treatments, mortality rates are still unacceptably high and drug resistance is increasing. We, therefore, generated the Ca37 monoclonal antibody against the C. albicans alcohol dehydrogenase (Adh) 1. Our data showed that Ca37 was able to detect C. albicans cells, and it bound to Adh1 in yeast and Adh2 in hyphae among the cell wall-associated proteins. Moreover, Ca37 was able to inhibit candidal growth following 18 h incubation time and reduced the minimal inhibitory concentration of amphotericin B or fluconazole when used in combination with those antifungals. In addition, the antibody prolonged the survival of C. albicans infected-Galleria mellonella larvae, when C. albicans was exposed to antibody prior to inoculating G. mellonella or by direct application as a therapeutic agent on infected larvae. In conclusion, the Ca37 monoclonal antibody proved to be effective against C. albicans, both in vitro and in vivo, and to act together with antifungal drugs, suggesting Adh proteins could be interesting therapeutic targets against this pathogen.
