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

Ionic Liquids (IL) are a unique class of molten salts, with specific formulations exhibiting antimicrobial properties. Several recent studies have highlighted the ability of ILs to form micelles, permeabilize the plasma membrane, and destabilize cellular structure, ultimately initiating cell death. Moreover, while these membrane-destabilizing properties are cytotoxic to most cellular organisms at high concentrations, their membrane destabilization capability at lower concentrations may lead to improvements in drug delivery for combinatorial therapies against specific microbes. Work presented in this study aimed to identify a synergistic relationship between ILs, 1-n-Hexyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride (HMIM[Cl]) and 1-Methyl-3-n-octylimidazolium chloride (OMIM[Cl]), and antifungal drugs (AF), Clotrimazole, Ketoconazole, Fluconazole, and Itraconazole, with the hypothesis that in a combinatory setting there should be improved AF efficacy against model fungal organisms:
