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 is the most common pathogen responsible for both spontaneous and recurrent candidiasis. The available treatment of Candida infections has several adverse effects, and the development of new drugs is critical. The current study looked at the synthesis of anti-Candida metabolites by Streptomyces sp. HC14 recovered from a soft coral. Using the Plackett Burman design, the medium composition was formulated to maximize production. Using GC-MS, the compounds have been identified, and a cheminformatics approach has been used to identify the potential source of activity. The compounds that showed high potential for activity were identified as pyrrolo[1,2-a]pyrazine-1,4-dione, hexahydro-3-(phenylmethyl)-3 and di-n-octyl based on their docking score against the cytochrome monooxygenase (CYP51) enzyme in Candida albicans. As a result of their discovery, fewer molecules need to be chemically synthesized, and fermentation optimization maximizes their synthesis, providing a strong foundation for the development of novel anti-Candida albicans agents.
