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

The increasing resistance to conventional antifungal agents, such as Amphotericin B (AmB), has led to a growing demand for alternative therapeutic approaches for Candida albicans, an opportunistic fungal pathogen responsible for infections in immunocompromised patients. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of photodynamic inactivation (PDI) in combination with AmB for controlling C. albicans growth, particularly in its yeast and hyphal forms, and to assess the impact of multiple PDI doses. C. albicans (ATCC 90028) was cultured in yeast and hyphal suspensions that were adjusted to 10
