Clinical characteristics of patients with positive fungal pathogens during acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: A retrospective study.
Article in Chinese medical journal pulmonary and critical care medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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: Fungal infections in acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) patients are poorly understood and often result in a poor prognosis. This study aimed to investigate the distribution of common fungi and the clinical features of AECOPD patients positive for fungal pathogens. Methods: Data were collected from inpatients with AECOPD at the Second Xiangya Hospital of Central South University from January 2016 to December 2019. The enrolled patients were divided into an infection group and a colonization group, and clinical data were compared between the two groups. A 1:1 propensity score matching (PSM) process was employed to ensure balanced samples to analyze the impact of positive fungal pathogens on the clinical features of AECOPD patients. The incidence of acute exacerbations one year after discharge was determined via telephone follow-up. Results: The most frequently isolated fungal pathogen was Conclusion:
