Treatment of systemic candidiasis in a neutropenic murine model using immunoglobulin G bearing liposomal amphotericin B.
Article in Mycopathologia, 1993. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Efficacy of immunoglobulin G (IgG) bearing liposomal amphotericin B (LAMB-IgG), liposomal amphotericin B without IgG (LAMB) or free amphotericin B (fAMB/Fungizone) was investigated in the treatment of systemic candidiasis in a neutropenic mouse model. Treatment with a single dose (0.6 or 0.9 mg amphotericin B per kg body weight) of LAMB-IgG resulted in a significant increase in the survival rate of neutropenic mice infected with 3 x 10(5) cfu of Candida albicans compared to untreated controls, mice injected with IgG, or liposome alone. Survival was also better in neutropenic mice treated with LAMB-IgG than in neutropenic mice treated with the same dose of LAMB or fAMB. Moreover, 65% of all mice survived the infection after treatment with a single dose of 0.6 mg AMB of the LAMB-IgG formulation. Quantitative culture counts of organs showed that both fAMB and LAMB-IgG formulations even at a dose of 0.3 mg AMB/kg, cleared C. albicans from the spleens, livers, and lungs but not from the kidneys. However, a decreased number of C. albicans cells was recovered from the kidneys of mice that survived the infection. Results of the study suggest that LAMB-IgG is more effective than LAMB or fAMB in the therapy of disseminated candidiasis in neutropenic mice.
