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

Due to the increase of antifungal drug resistance and difficulties associated with drug administration, new antifungal agents for invasive fungal infections are needed. SCY-247 is a second-generation fungerp antifungal compound that interferes with the synthesis of the fungal cell wall polymer β-(1,3)-d-glucan. We conducted an extensive antifungal screen of SCY-247 against yeast and mold strains compared with the parent compound ibrexafungerp (IBX; formerly SCY-078) to evaluate the
