Magnetic resonance imaging detects onset and association with lung disease severity of bronchial artery dilatation in cystic fibrosis.

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
Background: Bronchial artery dilatation (BAD) is associated with haemoptysis in advanced cystic fibrosis (CF) lung disease. Our aim was to evaluate BAD onset and its association with disease severity by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Methods: 188 CF patients (mean±sd age 13.8±10.6 years, range 1.1-55.2 years) underwent annual chest MRI (median three exams, range one to six exams), contributing a total of 485 MRI exams including perfusion MRI. Presence of BAD was evaluated by two radiologists in consensus. Disease severity was assessed using the validated MRI scoring system and spirometry (forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV Results: MRI demonstrated BAD in 71 (37.8%) CF patients consistently from the first available exam and a further 10 (5.3%) patients first developed BAD during surveillance. Mean MRI global score in patients with BAD was 24.5±8.3 compared with 11.8±7.0 in patients without BAD (p Conclusions: MRI detects BAD in patients with CF without radiation exposure. Onset of BAD is associated with increased MRI scores, worse lung function and chronic
