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

The clinical management of invasive aspergillosis (IA) is limited by the scarcity of antifungal agents and the emergence and spread of drug resistance, which impairs therapeutic efficacy and poses a significant public health threat. Olorofim, a first-in-class clinical antifungal targeting dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (DHODH), represents a promising therapeutic option for IA. It shows activity against several filamentous fungi, including IMPORTANCE: Invasive aspergillosis, a life-threatening infection in immunocompromised patients, is increasingly difficult to treat due to limited antifungal options and rising resistance. Olorofim, a novel antifungal targeting dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (DHODH), represents a promising therapy. While resistance in
