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

Caspofungin (CAS) is a potent antifungal agent belonging to the echinocandin family. It is a water-soluble dication at physiological pH, making it a good candidate for iontophoresis. Intracorneal iontophoretic delivery and biodistribution of CAS and its electrically assisted transport into the sclera were investigated as a function of experimental conditions, including donor concentration (1, 5 and 10 mg/mL) and application time (5 and 20 min) using an in-house set-up (with Ag/AgCl electrodes) and a marketed iontophoretic applicator (Iontofor CXL®) that used inert (stainless steel) electrodes. CAS deposition after passive delivery for 20 min (10 mg/mL) was 64.9 ± 23.7 μg/cm
