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.

Abstract

The fungus Aspergillus fumigatus is the main pathogenic agent responsible for invasive pulmonary aspergillosis. Immunocompromised patients are more likely to develop this pathology due to a decrease in the immune system's defense capacity. Despite of the low occurrence of invasive pulmonary aspergillosis, this pathology presents high rates of mortality, mostly due to late and unspecific diagnosis. Currently, the diagnostic methods used to detect this fungal infection are conventional mycological examination (direct microscopic examination, histological examination, and culture), imaging, non-culture-based tests for the detection of galactomannan, β(1,3)-glucan and an extracellular glycoprotein, and molecular tests based on PCR. However, most of these methods do not detect the species A. fumigatus; they only allow the identification of genus Aspergillus. The development of more specific detection methods is of extreme importance. Fluorescent in situ hybridization-based molecular methods can be a good alternative to achieve this purpose. In this review, it is intended to point out that most of the methods used for the diagnosis of invasive pulmonary aspergillosis do not allow to detect the fungus at the species level and that fluorescence in situ hybridization-based molecular method will be a promising approach in the A. fumigatus detection.
