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 is a commensal fungus of clinical interest that commonly lives in oral cavity and intestine but can become an opportunist microrganism and cause severe infections. A serie of 10 aminochalcones were designed and synthetized to obtain compounds anti-Candida with potent and broad-spectrum activity. The most active compound J34 demonstrated excellent in vitro activity against Candida albicans, Candida tropicalis, Candida parapsilosis, Candida glabrata and Candida krusei with minimum inhibitory concentration between 1.9 and 7.8 µg/mL. The association of aminochalcone J34 with amphotericin B demonstrated synergistic effect against C. albicans, with Fractional Inhibiroty Concentration Index (FICI) value of 0.5. Subinhibitory concentration of J34 inhibited the C. albicans adhesion to human keratinocytes. Treatment with J34 reduced C. albicans biofilm formation, as well as acts on preformed biofilm in concentration-dependent mode. Time-kill curve demonstrated that J34 had fungicidal action after 12 h of treatment. Preliminary mechanism of action study showed J34 interacts with membrane ergosterol but does not act on fungal cell wall of C. albicans. In additon, in vivo studies using Galleria mellonella indicated low toxic effect of chalcone J34 after 72 h of treatment.
