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 biofilms are resistant to several clinical antifungal agents. Thus, it is necessary to develop new antibiofilm intervention measures. Pseudolaric acid A (PAA), a diterpenoid mainly derived from the pine bark of Pseudolarix kaempferi, has been reported to have an inhibitory effect on C. albicans. The primary aim of the current study was to investigate the antibiofilm effect of PAA when combined with fluconazole (FLC) and explore the underlying mechanisms. Biofilm activity was assessed by tetrazolium {XTT [2,3-bis-(2-methoxy-4-nitro-5-sulfophenyl)-2H-tetrazolium-5-carboxanilide salt]} reduction assays. PAA (4 μg/mL) combined with FLC (0.5 μg/mL) significantly inhibited early, developmental, and mature biofilm formation compared with the effect of PAA or FLC alone (
