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

Flocculosin A is a strong antifungal metabolite secreted by the Basidiomycota fungus Anthracocystis flocculosa (formerly Pseudozyma flocculosa). It crystallizes in the form of long, soft cotton-wool-like needles, usually observed together with the mycelium in liquid culture conditions. Many crystallization tests were carried out. Among them, only a very slow cooling technique was able to yield suitable crystals, which were needle-like with a maximum thickness of 5 µm and several millimetres long. These crystals permitted us to record single-crystal X-ray diffraction data and solve the crystal structure as well as to determine the absolute configurations of the three chiral centres present in the two lipid chains.
