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

background

objectiveTo systematically review the available literature, providing evidence for the administration of biologic drugs as a new potential treatment of ABPA in both the paediatric and adult populations with CF.

methodsA systematic review of the literature published between January 2007 and July 2021 was performed, using a protocol registered with the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO CRD42021270932).

resultsA total of 21 studies focusing on the use of biologics in treating ABPA in CF patients was included. We highlighted a paucity of data providing evidence for biologic drug use in ABPA.

conclusionScientific evidence is insufficient to support firm conclusions and randomised clinical trials are urgently required to investigate the efficacy and safety of biologics for ABPA in CF patients.
