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

Galleria mellonella (greater wax moth) larvae have emerged as a valuable alternative in vivo model for studying fungal infections, including aspergillosis, due to their advantages such as ease of use, low cost, and ability to survive at mammalian body temperatures. Galleria larvae are useful for evaluating fungal virulence, host-pathogen interactions, and antifungal toxicity and efficacy. Recent studies have incorporated bioluminescence (BL) imaging, which enhances the utility of the model by enabling noninvasive, real-time monitoring of fungal burden and disease progression in individual animals. Together, these advantages make G. mellonella an effective and ethically favorable platform for preclinical aspergillosis research, perfectly aligning with 3R principles.
