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

Invasive fungal diseases (IFDs) present a growing clinical challenge, underscoring the urgent need for improved diagnostics, therapeutics and mechanistic understanding. This review highlights the key role of innovative imaging techniques across all scales - ranging from whole-body-level diagnostics and therapy monitoring to host-pathogen interactions at cellular resolution in both clinical and preclinical settings. These imaging modalities facilitate translation of preclinical innovations into clinical applications, accelerating research and advancing IFD management.
