Severe anemia, severe leukopenia, and severe thrombocytopenia of amphotericin B deoxycholate-based induction therapy in patients with HIV-associated talaromycosis: a subgroup analysis of a prospective multicenter cohort study.

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
backgroundThis study's objective was to investigate the predictors for severe anemia, severe leukopenia, and severe thrombocytopenia when amphotericin B deoxycholate-based induction therapy is used in HIV-infected patients with talaromycosis.
methodsA total of 170 HIV-infected patients with talaromycosis were enrolled from January 1st, 2019, to September 30th, 2020.
resultsApproximately 42.9%, 20.6%, and 10.6% of the enrolled patients developed severe anemia, severe leukopenia, and severe thrombocytopenia, respectively. Baseline hemoglobin level < 100 g/L (OR = 5.846, 95% CI: 2.765 ~ 12.363), serum creatinine level > 73.4 µmol/L (OR = 2.573, 95% CI: 1.157 ~ 5.723), AST/ALT ratio > 1.6 (OR = 2.479, 95% CI: 1.167 ~ 5.266), sodium level ≤ 136 mmol/liter (OR = 4.342, 95% CI: 1.747 ~ 10.789), and a dose of amphotericin B deoxycholate > 0.58 mg/kg/d (OR = 2.504, 95% CI:1.066 ~ 5.882) were observed to be independent risk factors associated with the development of severe anemia. Co-infection with tuberculosis (OR = 3.307, 95% CI: 1.050 ~ 10.420), and platelet level (per 10 × 109 /L) (OR = 0.952, 95% CI: 0.911 ~ 0.996) were shown to be independent risk factors associated with the development of severe leukopenia. Platelet level < 100 × 10
conclusionThe preceding findings reveal risk factors for severe anemia, severe leukopenia, and severe thrombocytopenia. After treatment with Amphotericin B, these severe adverse events are likely unrelated to fungal clearance at 2 weeks. Starting amphotericin B deoxycholate at a dose of 10 mg on the first day may increase the risk of severe anemia but can lead to earlier fungal clearance.
