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

Fungal infections pose a significant global health threat, with rising antifungal resistance, high mortality rates, and limited treatment options. Peptoids offer a promising alternative to traditional antifungal agents due to their enhanced stability and bioavailability. This study sought to optimize the antifungal peptoid RMG9-11 through an iterative structure-activity relationship (SAR) approach, focusing on improving antifungal potency while minimizing cytotoxicity. A total of 50 derivatives were synthesized across four rounds of modification, incorporating diverse structural alterations. Several derivatives demonstrated enhanced antifungal activity, with five top-performing compounds exhibiting improved selectivity ratios and good efficacy against
