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

Polyenes are a class of organic compounds well known for their potent antifungal properties. They are effective due to their ability to target and disrupt fungal cell membranes by binding to ergosterol and forming pores. Despite their effectiveness as antifungal drugs, polyenes have several limitations, such as high toxicity to the host cell and poor solubility in water. This has prompted ongoing research to develop safer and more efficient derivatives to overcome such limitations while enhancing their antifungal activity. In this review article, we present a thorough analysis of polyene derivatives, their structural modifications, and their influence on their therapeutic effects against various fungal strains. Key studies are discussed, illustrating how structural modifications have led to improved antifungal properties. By evaluating the latest advancements in the synthesis of polyene derivatives, we highlight that incorporating amide linkers at the carboxylic moiety of polyene molecules notably improves their antifungal properties, as evidenced by derivatives
