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

backgroundMalassezia pachydermatis (MP) is implicated in severe dermatitis and otitis externa (OE) of companion animals and recently gained attention for its increasing resistance to azole compounds. For this reason, developing novel therapeutic strategies is of great interest. In a previous work, we used reference yeast isolates to evaluate several compounds bearing acyl/selenoureido moieties and primary/secondary sulfonamide groups for antifungal activity through organic selenium and carbonic anhydrase inhibition.

objectivesThis work aimed to evaluate the antifungal efficacy of eight selenoureido compounds on 36 clinical MP isolates from dogs, compared to selected azoles, notably ketoconazole (KCZ), miconazole (MCZ) and fluconazole (FCZ). MATERIALS AND

methodsMIC assays of 5g, 7a, 7c, 7k, 8c, 10c, 11b, 11f, KCZ, MCZ and FCZ were performed on 36 MP field isolates isolated from dogs affected by dermatitis and/or OE in which yeast aetiology was suspected. Minimum 50% and 90% inhibitory concentrations (MIC

resultsOverall, the MIC CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Considering the increasing azole resistance of the Malassezia genus, selenoureido compounds could represent a potential topical treatment for dog skin and ear mycotic infections.
