Bronchiectasis complicated by pulmonary aspergillosis: a multicenter study on prognosis and risk factors.

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: Methods: We reviewed the medical records of 899 bronchiectasis patients from four tertiary hospitals. We identified 62 patients who were diagnosed with PA, encompassing 11 cases of invasive PA (IPA) and 51 cases of chronic PA (CPA). They were compared with 241 controls without aspergillosis. Results: Bronchiectasis patients with PA exhibited a significantly higher frequency of exacerbations (P=0.001) and hospitalizations (P=0.001) in the preceding year compared to those without PA. Chest high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) scans revealed that patients with PA exhibited a greater prevalence of consolidation/infiltrates, cavities, nodular shadows, and pleural thickening. Moreover, a higher proportion of patients in the PA group had undergone lobectomy (11.3% Conclusions: PA is frequent in bronchiectasis and associated with a poorer prognosis. Cavities on HRCT and prior pulmonary TB are significant risk factors for PA in these patients.
