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 (AmB) remains the cornerstone in the treatment of severe fungal infections. However, selecting an appropriate lipid-based formulation for different clinical scenarios remains a challenge for clinicians and clinical pharmacists. Methods: Adverse event (AE) reports from the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) database (Q1 2004-Q3 2024) were retrospectively analysed to assess the safety profiles of three lipid formulations of AmB: liposomal amphotericin B (L-AmB), amphotericin B lipid complex (ABLC), and amphotericin B colloidal dispersion (ABCD). The baseline patient characteristics, AE distributions, and prognostic outcomes of severe AEs were examined. SPSS software was used to compare AE occurrences among the three groups. Results: A total of 3284 patient reports were included, comprising 3108 in the L-AmB group, 142 in the ABLC group, and 34 in the ABCD group. Within 30 days, AEs were reported in 666 cases (L-AmB), 72 cases (ABLC), and 13 cases (ABCD) ( Conclusion: The safety profiles of L-AmB, ABLC, and ABCD differ among organ systems. These findings highlight the need for individualised treatment strategies based on drug-specific safety characteristics and patient-specific clinical conditions to ensure optimal drug selection and patient safety.
