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

rationaleSchizophyllum commune (S commune), a basidiomycetous fungus, is increasingly recognized as an important cause of allergic bronchopulmonary mycosis, particularly in immunocompetent individuals with a history of respiratory surgery, chronic sinusitis, or structural airway abnormalities. PATIENT CONCERNS: A 71-year-old female with a prior right upper lobectomy for lung cancer and a history of invasive fungal sinusitis presented with recurrent dyspnea, cough, and chest tightness. DIAGNOSES: The diagnosis was confirmed by fungal culture and 18S rRNA sequencing, along with significantly elevated total serum immunoglobulin E (541 IU/mL), specific immunoglobulin E to S commune (15.2 kU/L), and peripheral eosinophilia (8.0%).

interventionsThe patient was treated with voriconazole and inhaled corticosteroids/formoterol for asthma control. OUTCOMES: Marked improvement in symptoms and radiologic findings was observed after 1 month of treatment, with sustained improvement over 3 months. LESSONS: This case highlights the diagnostic challenges in distinguishing S commune-induced allergic bronchopulmonary mycosis and emphasizes the importance of considering this pathogen even in immunocompetent patients.
