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

Amphotericin B (AmB) is a potent antifungal agent with minimal resistance among clinical isolates, but its use is limited by severe side effects. Reducing its toxicity through combination therapy with synergistic compounds is a promising strategy. This study investigates the antifungal potential of 1,3,4-thiadiazole derivatives, focusing on AT2 and AT10, against Candida species. AT2 demonstrated the highest activity, achieving complete inhibition at 128 µg/mL and notable suppression at lower concentrations. The combination of AT2 and AT10 with amphotericin B exhibited synergistic effects, leading to significant structural alterations in the fungal cell wall, including reduced β-glucan levels and increased synthesis of mannan and phosphomannan. These modifications correlated with enhanced antifungal efficacy without exacerbating cytotoxicity toward human fibroblasts and renal epithelial cells. The spectroscopic analysis suggested that the synergy arose from both cell wall disruptions and amphotericin B disaggregation. These findings highlight the potential of thiadiazole-based combination therapies for combating resistant fungal infections.
