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 59-year-old man living in the suburban area of Greater Tokyo presented to his local hospital with chronic productive cough persisting for 1 year and hemoptysis for the past 3 months. A chest CT scan revealed an uneven cavity containing multiple masses in his right upper lobe (Fig 1). Sputum culture turned positive twice for filamentous fungi, but species could not be identified. The patient had active tobacco use with a 25 pack-year smoking history. Additionally, he had a history of hypertension and untreated diabetes mellitus, with a hemoglobin A1C level of 12.2%. Consequently, he was referred to our hospital for further investigation and treatment.
