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

Aspergillosis is a mycotic infection induced by airborne fungi that are ubiquitous. Inhalation of Aspergillus conidia results in transmission through the respiratory tract. The clinical presentation is dependent on organism and host specifics, with immunodeficiency, allergies, and preexisting pulmonary disease constituting the most important risk factors. In recent decades, the incidence of fungal infections has increased dramatically, due in part to the increased number of transplants and the pervasive use of chemotherapy and immunosuppressive drugs. The spectrum of clinical manifestations can range from an asymptomatic or mild infection to a swiftly progressive, life-threatening illness. Additionally, invasive infections can migrate to extrapulmonary sites, causing infections in distant organs. Recognition and familiarity with the various radiological findings in the appropriate clinical context are essential for patient management and the prompt initiation of life-saving treatment. We discuss the radiological characteristics of chronic and invasive pulmonary aspergillosis, as well as some of the typically unexpected extrapulmonary manifestations of disseminated disease.
