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

purposeTo evaluate the efficacy and safety of oral ibrexafungerp (HS-10366) versus placebo in Chinese patients with vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC).

methodsA double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized, multicenter phase III study was conducted in symptomatic VVC patients. Patients received (2:1) twice-daily oral ibrexafungerp 300 mg or matching placebo for 1 day. The primary endpoint was clinical cure (vulvovaginal signs and symptoms [VSS] score = 0) at test-of-cure (TOC) on day 11 ± 3. The secondary endpoints included mycological eradication, overall response, and clinical improvement (VSS score ≤ 1) at TOC, and vulvovaginal symptom resolution at follow-up on day 25 ± 4.

resultsIn total, 360 patients were included in the modified intention-to-treat set (defined as positive Candida cultured and receiving at least one study drug; 239 for ibrexafungerp, 121 for placebo). Compared with placebo, patients receiving ibrexafungerp had a significantly higher proportion of clinical cure (51.0% vs. 25.6%), mycological eradication (55.6% vs. 18.2%), overall response (33.9%, vs. 8.3%) at TOC and complete symptom resolution (74.5% vs. 39.7%, all P < 0.001) at follow-up. Subgroup analysis of clinical cure indicated that patients with C. albicans could benefit from ibrexafungerp over placebo. A similar benefit trend was also observed in those with non-albicans Candida by post-hoc analysis. Further analyses revealed similar efficacy of ibrexafungerp between patients with fluconazole non-susceptible C. albicans and fluconazole susceptible C. albicans regarding clinical cure and mycological eradication. Ibrexafungerp was generally well tolerated. Adverse events were primarily gastrointestinal and were mainly mild in severity.

conclusionsAs a first-in-class antifungal agent, ibrexafungerp demonstrated promising efficacy and favorable safety for VVC treatment in Chinese patients. CHINADRUGTRIALS.ORG. CN REGISTRY NUMBER: CTR20220918.
