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: Endophthalmitis, a severe infection of the intraocular tissues that can result in permanent loss of vision if not immediately treated, is often caused by fungi, namely Methods: In this study, using a rabbit model, we compared rezafungin, micafungin, and voriconazole in a hematogenous Results: No fungal growth was detected in the aqueous humor, vitreous humor, or choroid-retina of rabbits treated with 10 mg/kg rezafungin at the time of fungal inoculation. Additionally, rabbits given 10 mg/kg rezafungin showed the lowest kidney fungal burden (average log colony-forming units [CFUs]/g of < 0.5). In contrast, animals given either micafungin (6.2 mg/kg) or voriconazole (10 mg/kg) in the same treatment regimen were positive for fungal infection as measured by CFUs in each of these areas, demonstrating fungal burden. Additionally, significant increases in eye lesion scores were observed in rabbits given either micafungin or voriconazole, while no eye lesions were noted in rabbits that received rezafungin. Conclusion: Taken together, these results indicate that rezafungin was effective at reducing the acute fungal burden and subsequent eye lesions caused by
