Role of liposomal amphotericin B in intensive care unit: an expert opinion paper.
Review in Journal of anesthesia, analgesia and critical care, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
introductionInvasive fungal infections (IFI) are frequent in patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU). The use of first-line antifungals like triazoles or echinocandins may be limited by the global spread of multi-drug resistance species, drug-drug interactions, low organ penetration, and some safety concerns in case of multi-organ failure. Liposomal amphotericin B (L-AmB) is a polyene drug with a broad activity against mold and yeast and an acceptable safety profile. To outline the role of L-AmB in the treatment of IFI in critically ill patients, a panel of experts was invited to draw up an expert opinion paper on the appropriate place in therapy of L-AmB in different clinical scenarios of patients admitted to ICU.
methodsA multidisciplinary group of 16 specialists in infectious disease, microbiology, pharmacology, and intensive care elaborated an expert opinion document through a multi-step approach: (1) the scientific panel defined the items and wrote the statements on the management of IFI in ICU, (2) a survey was submitted to an external panel to express agreement or disagreement on the statements, and (3) the panel reviewed the survey and implemented the final document.
resultsThe final document included 35 statements that focused on epidemiology and microbiological rationale of the use of systemic L-AmB in critically ill patients and its potential role in specific clinical scenarios in the ICU.
conclusionSystemic L-AmB may represent an appropriate therapeutic choice for IFI in ICU patients with different underlying conditions, especially when the use of first-line agents is undermined. This expert opinion paper may provide a useful guide for clinicians.
