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

A 57-year-old man underwent bilateral lung transplantation at our hospital. On histopathology, aspergillomas were identified in the upper lobes of the explanted lungs. After being treated and discharged from the hospital, he returned 4 months later with ischemic chest pain, which was due to a myocardial infarction complicated by cardiogenic shock. He also had a large vegetation on the anterior mitral leaflet. Herein, we describe the patient's symptoms, complications, treatment, and recovery. To the best of our knowledge, ours is only the 2nd report of a patient who developed Aspergillus endocarditis after lung transplantation and the 1st such patient to have undergone successful mitral valve replacement.
