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

Amphotericin B (AmB) with deoxycholate (Fungizone) and AmB incorporated into mixed micelles (AmB-mixMs) composed of egg lecithin with glycocholate, deoxycholate, or taurocholate were compared as treatments for murine infections. For mice infected with Candida albicans, treatment consisted of a single intravenous injection; for mice infected with Cryptococcus neoformans, treatment consisted of two intravenous injections. The maximal tolerated doses of AmB as Fungizone were 1.25 mg/kg of body weight in mice with candidiasis and 2.5 mg/kg of body weight in mice with cryptococcosis. The AmB-mixMs were nontoxic to mice at doses of 80 and 100 mg/kg of body weight and were therapeutically more active than the maximal tolerated dose of Fungizone in both models of infection. However, when Fungizone or AmB-mixMs were administered at equivalent doses of AmB, AmB-mixMs were more active in treating murine candidiasis, whereas Fungizone was more active in treating murine cryptococcosis.
