Higher threshold (500 mL per six hours or greater) vs lower threshold (less than 500 mL per six hours) at time of aspiration

Pneumonia · adults receiving EN via nasogastric or gastrostomy tube

It is very uncertain whether higher threshold (500 mL per six hours or greater) changes pneumonia (until discontinued or up to 28 days) compared with lower threshold (less than 500 mL per six hours) at time of aspiration (very low certainty).

Meglumine antimoniate (IMMA) (20 mg/kg/d for 20 days) vs placebo (3 tablets/4 times a day

Complete cure, at least 3 months after the end of treatment · People with American cutaneous and mucocutaneous leishmaniasis

Meglumine antimoniate (IMMA) (20 mg/kg/d for 20 days) showed no clear difference in complete cure, at least 3 months after the end of treatment compared with placebo (3 tablets/4 times a day (moderate certainty).

Azithromycin (500 mg 20 ‐ 28 days) vs meglumine antimoniate (15 ‐ 20 mg/kg/d

Complete cure, at least 3 months after the end of treatment · People with American cutaneous and mucocutaneous leishmaniasis

Azithromycin (500 mg 20 ‐ 28 days) probably leads to lower complete cure, at least 3 months after the end of treatment compared with meglumine antimoniate (15 ‐ 20 mg/kg/d (moderate certainty).
