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

The diagnosis of invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA) diseases in non-neutropenic patients remains challenging. It is essential to develop optimal non-invasive or minimally invasive detection methods for the rapid and reliable diagnosis of IPA. Metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) can be a valuable tool for identifying the microorganism. Our study aims to evaluate the performance of mNGS in BALF in suspected IPA patients and compare it with other detection tests, including serum/BALF galactomannan antigen (GM) and traditional microbiological tests (BALF fungal culture and smear and lung biopsy histopathology). Ninety-four patients with suspicion of IPA were finally enrolled in our study. Thirty-nine patients were diagnosed with IPA, and 55 patients were non-IPA. There was significance between the IPA and non-IPA groups, such as BALF GM (
