ECG Abnormalities in Patients with Acute Exacerbation of Bronchiectasis and Factors Associated with High Probability of Abnormality.
Observational study in Pulmonary medicine, 2021. 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
backgroundBronchiectasis is an important reason for morbidity and mortality according to the last records that referred to high incidence rate of disease. Cardiovascular problems are common in pulmonary diseases, in general, and it can symptom by ECG abnormalities. The objective of this study was to define the most ECG abnormalities in patients with acute exacerbation of bronchiectasis and to study the correlation between the cardiac disorder and the other risk factors of the exacerbation. MATERIALS AND
methodsA prospective single-center observational cohort study was done at Aleppo University Hospital for patients with AEB between October 2017 and September 2018. They were divided into 2 groups (normal ECG vs. abnormal). Patients with COPD, cystic fibrosis, new diagnosis of ischemic accident through the last 6 months of the study, and treatment with macrolides or fluoroquinolones through the last 3 months of the study were excluded. We study the percent of abnormalities through the AEB and the percentage of the most common abnormalities.
results67 patients were included in the study (44 males and 23 females) with a mean age of 52.85 ± 21.456. ECG abnormalities were recorded in 43 patients, and it was more common in men (67.44% of cases). Advanced age and survival state had a statistical significance (
conclusionsECG abnormalities are common in AEB, and it can happen in any age and any value of Oximetry. It needs more attention because of the prognosis of the cardiac morbidity.
