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

Early diagnosis of invasive aspergillosis is an important factor to improve survival but remains challenging. The detection of Aspergillus antigens is included in the consensus case definitions of the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer and the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Mycoses Study Group as a criterion of "probable" invasive aspergillosis. JF5, a mouse IgG3 monoclonal antibody detecting an Aspergillus mannoprotein, has already been implemented as a lateral flow device (LFD). Now, also a JF5-based enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (EIA) is commercialized (Aspergillus specific galactomannoprotein [GP] EIA, Euroimmun Medizinische Labordiagnostika AG). In this study, we analyzed the diagnostic performance of GP in 63 bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALf) samples and 224 serum samples and compared it to performance of the galactomannan (GM) (Platelia Aspergillus enzyme immunoassay (EIA) (Bio-Rad, Marnes-la-Coquette, France)) and the JF5-based LFD (AspLFD; OLM Diagnostics, Newcastle Upon Tyne, United Kingdom). The diagnostic performance of GP and GM correlated well with both having high specificity. With an optimized cutoff threshold for positivity of 0.4-deviating from the 0.5 threshold recommended by the manufacturer-sensitivity of GP in serum is not significantly different than that of GM. However, in BALf sensitivity of GP is significantly less than for GM.
