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

purpose of reviewThis review summarizes the investigational antifungals in clinical development with the potential to address rising drug resistance patterns. The relevant pharmacodynamics, spectrum of activity, preclinical studies, and latest clinical trial data are described. RECENT

findingsAgricultural and medicinal antifungal use has been selected for inherently drug-resistant fungi and acquired resistance mechanisms. The rates of fungal infections and immunocompromised populations continue to grow as few new antifungals have hit the market. Several agents with the potential to address the emergence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) molds and yeasts are in clinical development. SUMMARY: Evolved formulations of echinocandins, polyenes, and triazoles offer less toxicity, convenient dosing, and greater potency, potentially expanding these classes' indications. Ibrexafungerp, olorofim, oteseconazole, and fosmanogepix possess novel mechanisms of actions with potent activity against MDR fungi. Successful clinical development is neither easy nor guaranteed; thus, perpetual efforts to discover new antifungals are needed.
