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 impact of sex on allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) outcomes remains uncertain. We retrospectively included ABPA subjects per the revised International Society for Human and Animal Mycology ABPA working group criteria over 13 years. We compared the clinical features, lung function, immunological tests, imaging, and ABPA exacerbation rates between men and women. Our primary objective was to assess whether women experience higher ABPA exacerbations than men. We included 731 ABPA subjects (mean age, 34.5 years; 49.5% women). Women with ABPA were older and had underlying asthma more frequently than men. There was no difference in lung function, immunological investigations, and imaging between men and women. ABPA exacerbations occurred in a slightly higher proportion of women than men (44.5% vs. 38.2%) but did not reach statistical significance (p = 0.09). We did not find a significant sex difference in ABPA exacerbation rates. Prospective studies should confirm our findings.
