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

objectiveThe incidence of pulmonary aspergillosis in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected persons is rising. This study was designed to determine the prevalence of pulmonary aspergillosis in a cohort of HIV-positive patients (

methodsSputum samples were collected, and potassium hydroxide mount, cultural characteristics, and lactophenol cotton blue preparations were employed to aid in the identification of

resultsPulmonary aspergillosis was diagnosed in 7 patients, five of whom showed a positive antigenemia indicating invasive form of disease. The prevalence of pulmonary aspergillosis was highest in individuals 21-40 years of age (13.3%). The gender-wise prevalence of pulmonary aspergillosis was 18.7% and 7.7% in females and males, respectively. The common chest radiographic findings noted in patients with pulmonary aspergillosis included a normal chest radiograph in 3 (42.8%), infiltrates in 2 (28.6%), and pleural effusion in 2 (28.6%). The common
