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

Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) is a common complication of cystic fibrosis (CF), occurring in approximately 10% of patients and accompanying/accounting for approximately 10% of pulmonary exacerbations. ABPA pathogenesis is dependent upon impaired clearance and dense respiratory epithelial exposure to A fumigatus (Af) spores with subsequent chemotactic recruitment of CD4+ Th2 lymphocytes specific for Af to lung tissue. Susceptibility to ABPA appears to involve risk factors including atopy and defined major histocompatibility complex-restricted alleles. Distinct cytoplasmic Af molecules (Af2, 4, and 6), now available as recombinant allergen reagents, appear to be associated with ABPA. Minimal criteria for diagnosis of ABPA in CF include clinical deterioration, elevated total serum IgE, positive immediate Af skin test or serum IgE antibodies, and Af serum precipitins/IgG antibodies or radiographic changes. Annual screening of total serum IgE is recommended from age 6 yr. Systemic glucocorticosteroids remain the mainstay of treatment. Itraconazole has an established role as a steroid-sparing agent if the patient has a slow or poor response to steroids, relapses, or is at risk for or develops steroid toxicity. Monitoring of clinical, radiographic and laboratory responses (especially total serum IgE) is essential.
