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

Reported here is the case of a newly diagnosed AIDS patient with end-stage HIV infection and biopsy-proven invasive pulmonary aspergillosis who responded to antifungal therapy but developed severe mucous impaction in association with rapid immune restoration that was ultimately fatal. Invasive pulmonary aspergillosis complicates about 4% of AIDS infections. A search of the medical literature revealed no previous report of this organism's involvement in immune restoration syndrome.
