Serum Type 2 Cytokine Levels Are Elevated in a Chronic Pulmonary Aspergillosis Subgroup with High Serum Total Immunoglobulin E Level.
Article in Journal of fungi (Basel, Switzerland), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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 subgroup of patients with chronic pulmonary aspergillosis (CPA) exhibits elevated serum total immunoglobulin E (IgE) levels, similar to allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis; however, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. This study aimed to clarify the underlying pathophysiology of the CPA subgroup with high serum total IgE levels. In this study, we prospectively collected CPA cases treated at our hospital between January and July 2022 and measured serum cytokine levels along with clinical data. We compared 34 healthy controls (HCs) and 51 patients with CPA and found significantly elevated levels of inflammatory cytokines and tissue repair and destruction-related cytokines in CPA. Among the 51 patients with CPA, 10 had total IgE levels of >500 IU/mL, whereas the remaining 41 did not. The IgE-high group exhibited significantly increased eosinophil counts and elevated levels of type 2 cytokines and pro-inflammatory cytokines. Based on these findings, patients with CPA exhibited an enhanced inflammatory response in terms of cytokines compared with HCs. In particular, the CPA subgroup with high total IgE levels may have an underlying enhancement of type 2 inflammation. Our study provides insights into the potential novel pathomechanisms of CPA and may contribute to the development of new treatment strategies.
