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

backgroundInvasive aspergillosis is a complication in immunocompromised patients and commonly detected in patients with hematological malignancies, which mostly affect the lungs. Because of its high iodine content, rich blood supply and capsule, the thyroid is considered to be less prone to microbial invasion thus most infectious thyroiditis cases are caused by bacteria. However, a few case reports have described thyroid gland aspergilloses, most of which were due to disseminated invasive aspergillosis. CASE PRESENTATION: We first report a case of thyroid gland and subcutaneous labium majus aspergillosis in a Chinese patient who received long-term glucocorticoid treatment for systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and lupus nephritis, and then we reviewed 36 articles describing similar aspergillus infections in 41 patients.

conclusionWe included 29 cases of diagnosed aspergillus thyroiditis and analyzed clinical findings, treatments and outcomes to provide clinical information for diagnosis and prognosis of thyroiditis caused by Aspergillus fumigatus.
