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

Asthma is an allergic, respiratory disorder characterized by hyper responsiveness of the airway to external stimuli. Considerable research is currently being directed towards understanding the role of environmental and genetic factors contributing to the development of asthma and its severity. Recent years have seen a substantial rise in evidence linking fungi to asthma. Few major clinical conditions associated with fungal sensitization and hypersensitive immune response are Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA), Allergic fungal rhinosinusitis (AFRS) and Severe asthma with fungal sensitization (SAFS). The most common fungi implicated in these conditions belong to genus Aspergillus, although an association with several other fungi has been described. In this review authors discuss the varying clinical characteristics of fungus induced respiratory complications in individuals with asthma. They also highlight the epidemiology of these conditions including their prevalence in children and their fungal etiological profile. Laboratory diagnostic methods and clinical case definitions have also been discussed. Future studies evaluating the role of fungal exposure and susceptibility to asthma are required. Till date there are no guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of ABPA in pediatric population, thus it is also imperative to establish validated clinical definitions of fungal allergic manifestations in pediatric patients with asthma to fully understand this complex interaction.
