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

Two of the three most commonly used classes of antifungal drugs target the fungal membrane through perturbation of sterol biosynthesis or function. In addition to these triazole and polyene antifungals, recent research is identifying new antifungal molecules that perturb lipid biosynthesis and function. Here, we review fungal lipid biosynthesis pathways and their potential as targets for antifungal drug development. An emerging goal is discovering new molecules that potentiate contemporary antifungal drugs in part through perturbation of lipid form and function.
