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

BACKGROUND/

objectives

methodsThe vaccine formulation was tested in a murine model of systemic

resultsFLZ treatment showed weak antifungal activity, high MIC values, and limited biofilm disruption and failed to ensure long-term survival, resulting in 100% mortality by day 40. In contrast, Tuft-lip-WCAg vaccination was well tolerated and conferred complete protection, with no detectable fungal burden by day 40. Vaccinated mice exhibited significantly elevated total antibody titers (166,667 ± 14,434), increased IgG2a levels, and enhanced T cell proliferation (stimulation index: 3.9 ± 0.84). Splenocytes from immunized mice secreted markedly higher levels of IFN-γ (634 ± 128 pg/mL) and IL-4 (582 ± 82 pg/mL), indicating a balanced Th1/Th2 immune response. Tuft-lip-WCAg vaccination also achieved 100% survival and the lowest kidney fungal burden (556 ± 197 CFUs/g).

conclusionsTuft-lip-WCAg formulation is a safe, immunogenic, and highly effective vaccine candidate that offers complete protection against drug-resistant
