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

Chronic pulmonary aspergillosis (CPA) is primarily seen in individuals with pre-existing lung pathology like bronchiectasis, cystic fibrosis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, or subtle immune compromise. It is rare in pregnancy and poses significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. We report a rare case of CPA in a young pregnant woman who was initially diagnosed with bronchiectasis secondary to meningococcal septicaemia in early childhood. She had recurrent haemoptysis during both pregnancies. During her current pregnancy, she presented with worsening respiratory symptoms and was ultimately managed with bronchial artery embolisation. Surgical intervention was deferred until postpartum. A planned caesarean delivery was undertaken at 34 weeks and 2 days due to the risk of massive haemoptysis. Postpartum, she was initiated on antifungal therapy and subsequently underwent definitive treatment with right lower pulmonary lobectomy. This case underscores the importance of appropriate diagnosis and timely management of complex respiratory conditions during pregnancy, particularly the role of a multidisciplinary team.
