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

Most fungal infections are common, localized to skin or mucosal surfaces and can be treated effectively with topical antifungal agents. However, while invasive fungal infections (IFIs) are uncommon, they are very difficult to control medically, and are associated with high mortality rates. We have previously described highly potent bis-guanidine-containing heteroaryl-linked antifungal agents, and were interested in expanding the range of agents to novel series so as to reduce the degree of aromaticity (with a view to making the compounds more drug-like), and provide broadly active high potency derivatives. We have investigated the replacement of the central aryl ring from our original series by both amide and a bis-amide moieties, and have found particular structure-activity relationships (SAR) for both series', resulting in highly active antifungal agents against both mold and yeast pathogens. In particular, we describe the in vitro antifungal activity, absorption, distribution, metabolism and elimination (ADME) properties, and off-target properties of FC12406 (34), which was selected as a pre-clinical development candidate.
