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

Background: Cryptococcosis is one of the most common fungal infections in immunocompromised patients, which is caused by Methods: The production of phospholipase and proteinase was detected using standard methods. Biofilm formation was determined using the microtiter plate method. The broth microdilution method was used to determine the antifungal activity. The antibiofilm activity was assessed using the safranin staining method. Results: All isolates of Conclusion: Plumbagin, compared to other natural products studied, was the most efficient in terms of antifungal and antibiofilm activities. Hence, plumbagin could be used in combination with antifungals for the development of new anticryptococcal drugs.
