Therapeutic Repurposing of Sertraline: Evidence for Its Antifungal Activity from In Vitro, In Vivo, and Clinical Studies.
Review in Microorganisms, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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.
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
Sertraline, a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI), has emerged as a candidate for therapeutic repurposing due to its reported antifungal activity. We systematically reviewed in vitro, in vivo, and clinical evidence up to July 2025 (PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science). As a result, 322 records were screened and 63 studies were found to meet the inclusion criteria (PRISMA 2020). We close a critical gap by consolidating relevant evidence on
