Allergic Bronchopulmonary Aspergillosis With Elevated Serum Tumour Marker Levels.

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.
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
We present the case of a 56-year-old woman diagnosed with allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (ABPA) who showed multiple nodular shadows on a chest x-ray. The patient displayed increased blood eosinophil counts and elevated serum levels of tumour markers including carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) antigen, and sialyl Lewis X (SLX). Computed tomography revealed that these abnormal shadows reflected central bronchiectasis with mucus plugs. The patient was started on prednisolone, which immediately normalised peripheral blood eosinophils. In contrast, serum CEA, SCC antigen, and SLX levels decreased slowly along with the gradual disappearance of the mucus plugs. ABPA with mucus plugs in the bronchi may present with elevated levels of serum tumour markers as well as nodular shadows on chest x-rays, requiring differentiation from malignancy.
