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
purposePatient reported outcome measures (PROMs) are key tools for monitoring and evaluating treatment effectiveness in people with bronchiectasis. However, most are developed for Anglophone contexts, limiting their applicability to non-English-speaking populations. This systematic review aimed to evaluate the measurement properties of PROMs for Spanish-speaking individuals with bronchiectasis.
methodsA search of major databases was conducted up to August 2024, targeting studies that assessed the measurement properties (validity, reliability, and responsiveness) of any PROMs available for Spanish-speaking adults with bronchiectasis. The methodological quality of the included studies, as well as the quality of the measurement properties was evaluated according to the COSMIN (Consensus-Based Standards for the Selection of Health Status Measurement Instruments) guidelines.
resultsOf 3752 articles, four studies were included. The PROMs were the Leicester Cough Questionnaire (LCQ), Quality of Life Questionnaire for Bronchiectasis (QoL-B), COPD Assessment Test (CAT), and St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ).Content validity was rated as sufficient with low or very low-quality evidence. Structural validity was assessed only for the SGRQ, rated inadequate with very low evidence. Cross-cultural validity could not be evaluated. Convergent validity was sufficient for all PROMs, highest for LCQ and QoL-B. Internal consistency was indeterminate across PROMs, though limited by lack of structural validity. Test-retest reliability was high for LCQ and moderate for QoL-B and CAT. Responsiveness was sufficient for all three PROMs assessed, with evidence quality from very low to moderate.
conclusionFew PROMs exist for Spanish-speaking adults with bronchiectasis. Content, structural and cultural validity, and responsiveness are the least studied properties, limiting treatment monitoring and assessment.
