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

In this retrospective study over eight years involving 25 immunocompromised adults, computed tomography pulmonary angiography (CTPA) demonstrated vascular invasion sign in 80% of proven or probable invasive mold pneumonia (IMP) cases (12/15), while absent in all bacterial pneumonia cases (0/10). These findings suggest that angioinvasion-related features on CTPA may serve as a valuable diagnostic adjunct in differentiating IMP from bacterial pneumonia in high-risk population.
