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

Cryptococcus neoformans and Cryptococcus gattii are the predominant etiological agents of cryptococcosis, a particularly problematic disease in immunocompromised individuals. The increased clinical use of immunosuppressive drugs, the inherent ability of Cryptococcus species to suppress and evade host immune responses, and the emergence of drug-resistant yeast support the need for model systems that facilitate the design of novel immunotherapies and antifungals to combat disease progression. The mouse model of cryptococcosis is a widely used system to study Cryptococcus pathogenesis and the efficacy of antifungal drugs in vivo. In this chapter, we describe three commonly used strategies to establish cryptococcosis in mice: intranasal, intratracheal, and intravenous inoculations. Also, we discuss the methodology for delivering drugs to mice via intraperitoneal injection.
