Exploring Early Antifungal Activity of Rezafungin as a Stepping-Stone for Shorter Treatment Duration for Candidemia: Pooled Analysis of 2 Randomized Trials.
Trial report in Open forum infectious diseases, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to 2 registered trials, which are not on this map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.

Abstract
Background: Guidelines recommend ≥2 weeks of antifungal therapy after candidemia clearance and for invasive candidiasis (IC). This post-hoc analysis evaluates Day 7 pooled data from the phase 2 STRIVE and phase 3 ReSTORE trials to explore early antifungal activity. Methods: Adults with candidemia and/or IC received weekly rezafungin 400/200 mg or daily caspofungin 70/50 mg for ≤4 weeks. Efficacy was evaluated in the modified intent-to-treat population via all-cause mortality (ACM; primary endpoint; 20% noninferiority margin), mycological eradication, and time to negative blood culture (TTNBC) at days 7, 14, and 30 (TTNBC assessed only in patients with candidemia). Day 7 safety was evaluated in the safety population. Results: Rezafungin was noninferior to caspofungin at each timepoint. Day 7 ACM rates were 7.9% (11/139) for rezafungin and 5.2% (8/155) for caspofungin (weighted difference [95% CI]: 3.0% [-3.7, 9.7]). Mycological eradication was similar between groups at all timepoints. Day 7 rates were 71.2% (99/139) and 65.2% (101/155), respectively (weighted difference [95% CI]: 6.6% [-4.0, 17.1]). Median (interquartile range) TTNBC was numerically shorter for rezafungin (22.3 [14.3-47.0] hours; caspofungin 26.3 [17.8-112.6] hours). Subgroup analyses suggested potential Day 7 benefits for rezafungin in patients with candidemia or Conclusions: Rezafungin was noninferior to caspofungin in candidemia and/or IC from Day 7, with shorter TTNBC in patients with candidemia. Subgroup analysis suggested a potential early benefit with rezafungin in some patients. Trials exploring shorter treatment durations for some patients are warranted.
