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 polyene antibiotic Amphotericin B (AMB) is one of the first therapeutic agents to be marketed commercially as nanosized formulations in which the drug is associated with lipids as liposomes or complexes. In this way, its renal toxicity is reduced and its therapeutic index improved. This review summarizes the particular properties of AMB which justify this type of formulation and the early work leading up to their development. The clinical results obtained in the treatment of fungal infections are reviewed and their activity against leishmaniasis is also evoked. Some newer formulations of AMB, based on both lipids and polymers are described. In particular, their potential by the oral and pulmonary routes are discussed. Finally, the development of targeted systems to deliver the drug to specific cells and tissues is considered.
