Allergic Bronchopulmonary Aspergillosis in Children Presenting as Lung Masses.
Article in Indian journal of pediatrics, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper, 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
Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) is an IgE-mediated hypersensitivity reaction predominantly occurring in patients of asthma and cystic fibrosis. The typical radiological findings in ABPA include central bronchiectasis and fleeting opacities. In this retrospective study, the aim was to describe cases of ABPA in children who had a mass-like lesion in the lung. There were 5 cases of ABPA in children, who presented as mass-like lesions that responded very well to treatment for ABPA. All cases, except 1, had asthma as the underlying disease. There was a delay in the diagnosis of ABPA in all 5 cases. There had been unnecessary invasive investigations in some of these cases before the diagnosis of ABPA was made. To conclude, children with ABPA may present with a mass-like lesion in the lung and high index of suspicion is required to diagnose ABPA timely to prevent its consequences.
