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 is an uncommon form of Aspergillus infection. It typically occurs in people with a weakened immune system and underlying lung disease. Our case demonstrates that pulmonary aspergillosis can occur in immunocompetent middle-aged men with a rare pleural effusion as the main imaging manifestation. A 45-year-old Chinese man with chronic exposure to wet crops presented to our emergency department with a two-year history of cough which worsened over the past 10 days. An initial chest CT showed right pleural effusion with compressive pulmonary atelectasis. Bronchoscopy was unremarkable, but next-generation sequencing of bronchoalveolar-lavage fluid revealed
