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

Purpose: Patients with hematologic malignancies are highly vulnerable to invasive fungal disease (IFD). Despite the broad-spectrum efficacy and lower toxicity of liposomal amphotericin B (L‑AmB), there is a lack of real‑world evidence on the recently approved domestic L‑AmB in China. This study aims to evaluate its real-world efficacy and safety in patients with hematologic malignancies. Patients and Methods: This study retrospectively and consecutively included hematologic malignancies patients with IFD who received domestic L-AmB treatment in China between December 2024 and May 2025. Efficacy was evaluated by overall treatment success, and safety assessment was based on adverse events (AEs). A composite outcome of treatment success without severe AEs (≥ Grade 3) was used to evaluate the clinical benefit-risk balance. Results: A total of 100 eligible patients were included in this analysis, with a median duration of L-AmB treatment of 12 days (interquartile range [IQR], 7-19 days). The overall treatment success rate was 71.0% (71/100). Subgroup analysis demonstrated that longer treatment duration, acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), and undefined or possible IFD categories were associated with a numerically higher treatment success rate. Furthermore, L-AmB exhibited a favorable safety profile, with mostly mild-to-moderate AEs. Hypokalemia was the most frequent (52.0%) but manageable, whereas nephrotoxicity, hepatotoxicity, and infusion-related reactions were mild. Notably, a total of 51 patients (51%) achieved treatment success without severe AEs, demonstrating an overall favorable benefit-risk balance. Dose-duration stratified composite outcome analysis showed that the longer treatment duration group (> 14 days) generally exhibited a superior benefit-risk balance (range 63.6%-84.6%). Conclusion: Our findings support L-AmB as a clinically effective and well-tolerated therapeutic option for patients with hematologic malignancies complicated by IFD.
