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

A 67-year-old woman with a history of poorly controlled asthma was admitted to our hospital with a persistent cough and abnormal chest radiographic findings. Her diagnosis was allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA). Following treatment with mepolizumab, her symptoms and imaging findings improved initially. However, after approximately 2 years, the patient experienced a recurrent cough with elevated non-specific immunoglobulin E levels and worsening chest imaging findings, thereby changing her diagnosis to recurrent ABPA. Mepolizumab was substituted with dupilumab, and her subjective symptoms and imaging findings improved. Our findings suggest that dupilumab may be effective in ABPA cases following the failure of another antibody therapy.
