Evaluation of Simpler Criteria for Diagnosing Allergic Bronchopulmonary Aspergillosis Complicating Asthma.
Article in Frontiers in cellular and infection microbiology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Background: The modified International Society for Human and Animal Mycology (ISHAM) allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) working group (AWG) criteria lists up to five components for diagnosing ABPA in asthmatics. Whether eliminating specific components of the existing criteria would have the same diagnostic utility as the original remains unknown. Objective: To evaluate the performance of several simplified criteria for diagnosing ABPA. Methods: We compared the performance of seven new criteria (after excluding or modifying one or more of the components of the ISHAM-AWG criteria) with the modified ISHAM-AWG criteria in asthmatic subjects using latent class analysis (LCA). We also tested the performance of the newer criteria using accuracy measures against a multidisciplinary team (MDT) diagnosis of ABPA. We considered the diagnostic accuracy of the newer criteria to be acceptable if the correct classification and false-negative rates were >95% and <5%, respectively, on an MDT evaluation. Results: We analyzed data from 543 asthmatic subjects (58.8% women; mean age, 36.8 years). Using LCA, the sensitivity of the Conclusions: We found several of the newly developed criteria to perform, like the modified ISHAM-AWG criteria, for diagnosing ABPA complicating asthma. A prospective study in current clinical algorithms is required for validating our observations.
