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

Although atovaquone is effective in treating and preventing Pneumocystis pneumonia (PCP), its use is limited by nonlinear absorption and adverse events. The current study was undertaken to examine the activity of encochleated atovaquone (eATQ), a novel lipid-crystal nanoparticle formulation, in a mouse model of PCP. eATQ 100-200 mg was superior to commercially available atovaquone at 14 days in decreasing total Pneumocystis nuclei and asci. eATQ plus anidulafungin reduced nuclei significantly better than commercial atovaquone plus anidulafungin. eATQ is a novel formulation of atovaquone that warrants further evaluation for treatment and prevention of PCP.
