  text: We consider the nonlinear Schrödinger equation in three space dimensions
    with combined focusing cubic and defocusing quintic nonlinearity. This problem
    was considered previously by Killip et al. [Arch. Ration. Mech. Anal., 225 (2017),
    pp. 469--548], who proved scattering for the whole region of the mass/energy plane
    where the virial quantity is guaranteed to be positive. In this paper, we prove
    scattering in a slightly larger region where, in particular, the virial quantity
    is no longer guaranteed to be sign definite.
