Chronic pulmonary aspergillosis complicating pulmonary cystic echinococcosis: a global systematic review.
Review in Therapeutic advances in infectious disease. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: Human cystic echinococcosis frequently involves the lungs, and colonization of a residual cavity with Objectives: We pooled and characterized cases of CPA co-existing with pulmonary cystic echinococcosis (PCE) through a systematic review of globally published data. Design: Systematic review. Data sources and methods: Primary literature was identified through searches of various electronic databases, including CINAHL, Ovid MEDLINE, MEDLINE (PubMed), EMBASE, Google Scholar, the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, and African Journal Online. The search encompassed articles from inception to February 2024, using medical subject heading search terms "chronic pulmonary aspergillosis" OR " Results: A total of 148 studies were initially identified from a literature search, and after the screening, 52 articles were selected for full-text review. We included 41 studies published from 1996 to 2023 that met the eligibility criteria and involved 3035 participants. The studies comprised case reports (75.6%, Conclusion: CPA complicates PCE and has both similar clinical and radiological features. Diagnostic approaches primarily include radiology and histology, while treatment often involves a combination of surgical and medical management, with antifungals and anthelminthic drugs commonly used. Despite the complexity of CPA, patients generally achieve favorable outcomes with appropriate treatment. Further research is needed to optimize diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for this condition. Trial registration: PROSPERO (CRD42024510441).
