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

Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis is an uncommon condition characterized by airway hypersensitivity to Aspergillus fumigatus, resulting in worsening asthma control and bronchiectasis progression. It is associated with various radiological features. Here, we describe a 53-year-old lady with atypical CT chest finding as soft tissue density masses in both lungs evaluated initially as a lung tumour. The diagnosis was particularly challenging given the history of undiagnosed asthma. Nevertheless, bronchoscopy findings of mucus impaction and blood eosinophilia redirect the clinical thinking toward ABPA. Laboratory examination showed elevated total IgE, Aspergillus fumigatus IgE, and Aspergillus niger IgE. Shortly after treatments with systemic steroids, our patient showed a symptomatic improvement. Moreover, subsequent follow-up showed a resolution of the radiological opacities.
