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.

Abstract

backgroundSolid tumors are a common predisposing factor for invasive candidiasis (IC) or candidemia due to IC.

objectivesPost hoc analysis of patient-level efficacy and safety data from six studies of anidulafungin (with similar protocols/endpoints) in adults with IC/candidemia summarized by past or recent diagnosis of solid tumors. PATIENTS/

methodsPatients received a single intravenous (IV) dose of anidulafungin 200 mg, followed by 100 mg once daily. After ≥ 5 to ≥ 10 days of IV treatment, switch to oral voriconazole/fluconazole was permitted in all but one study. Time of solid tumor diagnosis was defined as past, ≥ 6; and recent, < 6 months prior to study entry. Primary endpoint: global response of success (GRS) rate at the end of IV therapy (EOIVT). Secondary endpoints included the GRS rate at the end of all therapy (EOT), all-cause mortality, and safety.

resultsThe GRS rate in the overall population was 73.4% at EOIVT and 65.5% at EOT. Past or recent solid tumor diagnosis did not affect GRS at EOIVT or EOT (past: 75.5% and 71.4%; recent: 72.2% and 62.2%, respectively). All-cause mortality was 14.4% on day 14 and 20.1% at day 28. Most treatment-emergent adverse events were mild/moderate in severity (81.6%).

conclusionsTreatment of IC was effective regardless of the time of solid tumor diagnosis.

trial registrationData were pooled from six studies: NCT00496197 (first posted on ClinicalTrials.gov on July 4, 2007); NCT00548262 (first posted on ClinicalTrials.gov on October 23, 2007); NCT00537329 (first posted on ClinicalTrials.gov on October 1, 2007); NCT00689338 (first posted on ClinicalTrials.gov on June 3, 2008); NCT00806351 (first posted on ClinicalTrials.gov on December 10, 2008); NCT00805740 (first posted on ClinicalTrials.gov on December 10, 2008).
