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

Chronic pulmonary aspergillosis (CPA) is a slowly progressing pulmonary fungal infectious disease caused by Aspergillus. Aspergillus IgG, IgM are now considered to be valuable biomarkers in CPA diagnosing.Our research attempts to evaluate the effectiveness of Aspergillus IgG, IgM in diagnosing CPA.In our study, CPA patients were younger than the patients who suffered other pulmonary disease. The most common underlying disease in CPA patients was pulmonary tuberculosis. And the most common clinical symptom was hemoptysis. The comparison among the groups indicated statistical significance with regard to Aspergillus IgG and IgM between the CPA and other pulmonary disease groups (P < .01). The Aspergillus-specific IgG and IgM in infectious group exhibited higher levels than those in colonization group (P < .01). The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of Aspergillus IgG was 0.762 (95% confidence interval: 0.664-0.860) (P < .01).Aspergillus-specific IgG offers great diagnostic value with regard to CPA.
