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

Candida albicans causes systemic infections with 20-50% mortality in critically ill and immunocompromised patients, despite antifungal treatment. Current therapies face limitations, including toxicity and resistance, underscoring the need for prophylactic vaccines. This study presents a novel divalent liposomal vaccine, delivering C. albicans Cht3 and Sap2 antigens. Vaccination induced protective Th1/Th17 immunity, a balanced Th1/Th2 ratio, antigen-specific antibodies, and boosted macrophage activity, improving survival in a mouse model of invasive candidiasis.
