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

A 56-year-old man with chronic progressive pulmonary aspergillosis due to multidrug-resistant Aspergillus udagawae presented with acute abdominal pain. Computed tomography revealed rupture of an intra-abdominal abscess with ascites. Despite emergency surgery for peritonitis, he died on day 5. Autopsy showed numerous fungal abscesses with direct invasion and hematogenous spread from the lungs to the peritoneum. A genetic analysis confirmed A. udagawae. This represents the first autopsy-proven case of fatal fungal peritonitis secondary to invasive pulmonary aspergillosis caused by A. udagawae, highlighting the importance of molecular identification in treatment-refractory Aspergillus infections.
