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 37-year-old man presented with chronic cavitary pulmonary aspergillosis and hemoptysis refractory to systemic antifungal therapy with voriconazole and bronchial artery embolization. Surgical excision was unfeasible due to the patient's refusal of blood transfusions. Ten sessions of intracavitary instillation of amphotericin B via flexible bronchoscopy were then performed. Hemoptysis cessation and aspergilloma resolution were achieved, with no toxicity or side effects, and the clinical benefits were sustained at six months of follow-up.
