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: With the development of coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, there is also increased risk of multiple secondary infections either disease- or drug-related. It includes many bacterial as well as invasive fungal infections. Patients and methods: There was suspicion of invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA) infection in COVID-19 patients who were critically ill and had acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). We did radiological evaluation and galactomannan assay in these patients. Result: We have diagnosed COVID-19-associated pulmonary aspergillosis (CAPA) in these patients and started antifungal treatment with voriconazole in all of these COVID-19 patients. Conclusion: It is very important to report such cases, so that healthcare professionals and authorities related to healthcare will be aware of and may also prepare for the increasing burden of this complication. We describe a case series of CAPA infection. How to cite this article: Sharma K, Kujur R, Sharma S, Kumar N, Ray MK. COVID-19-associated Pulmonary Aspergillosis: A Case Series.
