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
Objective: The recurrence rate of post-tuberculosis chronic pulmonary aspergillosis (post-TB CPA) is alarmingly high. This study aims to establish a risk prediction model utilizing machine learning algorithms to forecast the one-year recurrence risk of post-TB CPA. Methods: This retrospective study included all patients diagnosed with pulmonary tuberculosis complicated by chronic pulmonary aspergillosis at Wuhan Pulmonary Hospital in 2022. Ultimately, 220 patients were included for the significance analysis.The Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator LASSO regression analysis was utilized to select 8 variables associated with the recurrence of tuberculosis complicated by chronic pulmonary aspergillosis. Four machine learning algorithms were compared to predict the recurrence risk in patients with this complication, with their performance evaluated using the receiver operating characteristic curve, area under the curve (AUC), calibration curve analysis, and decision curve analysis. Results: LASSO regression analysis identified chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), chronic fibrotic pulmonary aspergillosis (CFPA), progressive pleural hypertrophy, fungal culture results, age, disease duration, emphysema and treatment duration as factors related to the recurrence risk of tuberculosis complicated by chronic pulmonary aspergillosis. The logistic regression model demonstrated the best performance, it outperformed the other three models by achieving the highest AUC of 0.779 on the internal validation set and 0.819 in the test cohort. The calibration curve indicated a strong correlation between the actual and predicted probabilities, while the decision curve analysis revealed significant clinical benefits. Discussion: In this study, we developed a disease recurrence prediction model using machine learning techniques. This model aims to assist clinicians in identifying the most relevant risk factors associated with the recurrence of tuberculosis complicated by chronic pulmonary aspergillus. It facilitates the formulation of targeted and effective re-examination plans for discharged patients, ultimately reducing the recurrence rate after discharge and enhancing the quality of life for these patients.
