Pharmacological treatment options for bronchiectasis: focus on antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory agents.
Review in Drugs, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Patients with bronchiectasis experience tenacious mucus, recurrent infectious exacerbations, and progressive worsening of symptoms and obstruction over time. Treatment is aimed at trying to break the cycle of infection and progressive airway destruction. Antibacterial treatment is targeted towards likely organisms or tailored to the results of sputum culture. Inhaled antibacterial therapy may offer the advantage of increased local concentration of medication, while minimizing systemic adverse effects; however, to date, studies have been equivocal in this disorder. Macrolides, in addition to their antibacterial properties, have unique anti-inflammatory properties, which may make them useful in this disorder. Other mucoactive and anti-inflammatory agents, such as inhaled corticosteroids, mannitol and hypertonic saline, may also prove useful in this disease, but further studies are needed.
