How to read this backtest

The worst peak-to-trough fall was -58.1%: a $10,000 account would have dropped to about $4,194 at that point before recovering. The +43.2% CAGR is the annual rate that compounds the start value into the end value over 6.2 years; the return-to-drawdown ratio of 0.74 says how many points of annual return each point of worst-case loss bought. Compare strategies on that pair, not on CAGR alone.
