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

COVID-19-associated pulmonary aspergillosis (CAPA) is typically described in critically ill patients with severe pneumonia. We report a 68-year-old man, 16 weeks post autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplant for AL amyloidosis, who developed invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA) following mild COVID-19 upper respiratory tract infection not requiring oxygen supplementation or ICU admission. Diagnosis was established by positive broncho-alveolar lavage galactomannan with compatible CT chest findings, and he was treated with oral voriconazole. This case highlights that IPA may complicate mild COVID-19 in patients not traditionally considered at highest risk, supporting the concept that cumulative risk factors may precipitate IPA.
