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.
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
Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) is recognized as a rare, progressive, allergic disorder in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) and asthma. Treatment of ABPA mainly includes systemic corticosteroids (CSs) and antifungal agents. Here, we report posaconazole treatment in a 9-year-old male child with ABPA and also review the literature on antifungal management of ABPA. The child with CF was admitted to the emergency room with complaints of fever, productive cough, and acute dyspnea. Auscultation of the lungs revealed obvious bilateral fine crackles and bilateral rhonchus. He was started with intravenous meropenem and amikacin for acute exacerbation. The patient was diagnosed with ABPA because of his failure to respond to antibiotherapy, elevated serum immunoglobulin (Ig) E, specific IgE, to Aspergillus fumigatus levels and sputum growth of A. fumigatus. He was successfully treated with posaconazole with marked clinical and laboratory improvement and no adverse effects. CSs and antifungal agents are the mainstay of therapy in patients with ABPA based on observational studies in children. Posaconazole is a useful treatment option for patients with ABPA.
