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

Aspergillus fumigatus is a globally distributed opportunistic fungal pathogen capable of causing highly lethal invasive aspergillosis in immunocompromised individuals. Recent studies have indicated that the global population consists of multiple, divergent genetic clusters that are geographically broadly distributed. However, most of the analyzed samples have come from continental Eurasia and the Americas where the effects of ancient versus recent factors are difficult to distinguish. Here, we investigated environmental A. fumigatus isolates from Auckland, New Zealand, a geographically isolated population, and compared them with those from other parts of the world to determine the relative roles of historical differentiation and recent gene flow in shaping A. fumigatus populations. Our data suggest that the Auckland A. fumigatus population contains both unique indigenous genetic elements as well as genetic elements that are similar to those from other regions such as Europe, Africa, and North America. Though the hypothesis of random recombination was rejected, we found abundant evidence for phylogenetic incompatibility and recombination within the Auckland A. fumigatus population. Additionally, susceptibility testing identified two triazole-resistant strains, one of which contained the globally distributed mutation TR
