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

Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis/mycosis (ABPA/ABPM) is characterized by increased serum levels of total and fungi-specific immunoglobulin E (IgE) and eosinophilic mucus plugs in the airways. Its classification as either an allergic or eosinophilic disease remains controversial. In the present review, we explored this topic based on three clinical studies that analyzed the clinical characteristics of ABPA/ABPM using a cluster analysis, factor analysis, and comparison between ABPM caused by Schizophyllum commune and ABPA. We also compared therapeutic responses to biologics targeting either IgE (omalizumab) or eosinophils (mepolizumab/benralizumab) to elucidate the role of these components in the pathogenesis of ABPA/ABPM. Based on these analyses, eosinophilic mucus plug formation in the airways is considered a cardinal feature of the development of ABPA/ABPM, whereas IgE responses to fungi are important factors that modulate disease manifestation.
