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

Background: Amphotericin B deoxycholate (AmB-D) have potential toxic effects in the treatment of talaromycosis, and high-quality, non-generic liposomal AmB (L-AMB) is still inaccessible in many regions of China. As such, the efficacy and safety of alternative drugs warrant further investigation for the management of talaromycosis. This study aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of Amphotericin B Colloidal Dispersion (ABCD) and AmB-D for the treatment of talaromycosis in a retrospective cohort of HIV-infected patients. Methods: This was a retrospective study and the data of HIV-infected patients with talaromycosis who received ABCD or AmB-D from January 2018 to December 2022, were retrospectively collected and analyzed. We compared the efficacy and safety of the two antifungal drugs. Results: Overall, 38 patients receiving ABCD and 33 patients receiving AmB-D were included. The conversion rates to fungal negativity at one week post-treatment were 86.84% (33/38) in the ABCD group and 90.09% (30/33) in the AmB-D group, which reached 100.00% in both groups at two weeks post-treatment. A higher symptom remission rate was observed at two weeks in the ABCD group compared with the AmB-D group (94.74% vs 75.76%; Conclusion: ABCD has a clinical efficacy comparable to AmB-D, with higher symptom remission rate, lower nephrotoxicity, and lower bone marrow suppression, indicating that ABCD may be an appropriate alternative option for the clinical management of talaromycosis.
