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

Invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA), invasive mucormycosis (IM), and invasive fusariosis (IF) are associated with high mortality and morbidity. Fosmanogepix (FMGX) is a first-in-class antifungal in clinical development with demonstrated broad-spectrum activity in animal models of infections. We sought to evaluate the benefit of combination therapy of FMGX plus liposomal amphotericin B (L-AMB) in severe delayed-treatment models of murine IPA, IM, and IF. While FMGX was equally as effective as L-AMB in prolonging the survival of mice infected with IPA, IM, or IF, combination therapy was superior to monotherapy in all three models. These findings were validated by greater reductions in the tissue fungal burdens (determined by quantitative PCR) of target organs in all three models versus the burdens in infected vehicle-treated (placebo) or monotherapy-treated mice. In general, histopathological examination of target organs corroborated the findings for fungal tissue burdens among all treatment arms. Our results show that treatment with the combination of FMGX plus L-AMB demonstrated high survival rates and fungal burden reductions in severe animal models of invasive mold infections, at drug exposures in mice similar to those achieved clinically. These encouraging results warrant further investigation of the FMGX-plus-L-AMB combination treatment for severely ill patients with IPA, IM, and IF.
