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

Granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) is an autoimmune, necrotizing granulomatous disease that affects small- and medium-sized blood vessels. Aspergilloma is a fungal mass of Aspergillus and usually found in the preexisting cavity in lung parenchyma. Surgical resection is the mainstay of treatment of aspergilloma. In this article, we present a case of a 70-year-old male with GPA and aspergilloma who presented with massive, life-threatening hemoptysis. Further workup with a chest computed tomography (CT) pulmonary angiogram demonstrated a pulmonary artery pseudoaneurysm along the wall of the lung cavity which was emergently managed with embolization and required monitoring in the medical intensive care unit. This case report alerts clinicians to maintain a high level of suspicion for an aneurysm if the degree of hemoptysis is higher than expected.
