Clinical Uses of Inhaled Antifungals for Invasive Pulmonary Fungal Disease: Promises and Challenges.
Review in Journal of fungi (Basel, Switzerland), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
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.
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 role of inhaled antifungals for prophylaxis and treatment of invasive fungal pneumonias remains undefined. Herein we summarize recent clinically relevant literature in high-risk groups such as neutropenic hematology patients, including those undergoing stem cell transplant, lung and other solid transplant recipients, and those with sequential mold lung infections secondary to viral pneumonias. Although there are several limitations of the available data, inhaled liposomal amphotericin B administered 12.5 mg twice weekly could be an alternative method of prophylaxis in neutropenic populations at high risk for invasive fungal pneumonia where systemic triazoles are not tolerated. In addition, inhaled amphotericin B has been commonly used as prophylaxis, pre-emptive, or targeted therapy for lung transplant recipients but is considered as a secondary alternative for other solid organ transplant recipients. Inhaled amphotericin B seems promising as prophylaxis in fungal pneumonias secondary to viral pneumonias, influenza, and SARS CoV-2. Data remain limited for inhaled amphotericin for adjunct treatment, but the utility is feasible.
