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

Given the widespread occurrence of fungal infections, the phenomenon of fungal drug resistance, and the limited number of systemic antimycotic therapies, novel chemicals should be developed to control pathogenic fungi. We propose using quinone methide oximes as a novel framework for developing a novel class of antifungal agents. Compound 2 was destroyed mature biofilms at the concentration of 0.5 µg/mL (MIC/4) and prevented hyphal growth of Candida albicans at 0.125 µg/mL (MIC/16). The chemical applied at the concentration of 16-128 µg/mL inhibited the growth of the majority of the clinical isolates of Candida used, including those exhibiting resistance towards systemic drugs. Our safety studies performed with the use of normal human cells revealed that compound 2 was not toxic at the antifungal concentrations tested. Surprisingly, compound 2 showed low inhibitory activity against a set of protein kinases in comparison with its parental compound 1.
