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 (ABPA) is a disease that occurs due to a pulmonary immune system reaction to the antigens of Aspergillus Fumigatus. Central bronchiectasis, mucoid impaction, mosaic attenuation, centrilobular nodules, and tree-in-bud opacities are the most commonly observed CT scan findings of ABPA. Miliary molting is one of the rare radiological manifestations of ABPA. ABPA is usually seen in uncontrolled asthma and is very uncommon in patients without a prior history of asthma. We are reporting a case of ABPA that presented a miliary nodule in radiology and was never diagnosed as a case of asthma previously. Thus, in a patient with eosinophilia and miliary molting, ABPA is to be excluded. Early diagnosis and treatment can prevent end-stage fibrotic ABPA.
