Non Cystic Fibrosis Bronchiectasis.
Review in Indian journal of pediatrics, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Bronchiectasis is a pathological abnormality of the airways in which there is permanent dilatation and thickening of the airways. Precise incidence/prevalence in India is not known. Recent data suggests that about 1 % young children admitted in a hospital with pneumonia may develop bronchiectasis. Due to significant burden of pneumonia in young children in developing countries including India, it may be a significant problem that is possibly under recognized. Causes of bronchiectasis depend on the burden of respiratory infections and availability of the investigations for identification of the underlying cause. Post infectious causes are common in countries where infections are more common; however, since these countries are usually resource constrained and therefore, are not able to appropriately diagnose the other causes, leading to more than real overrepresentation of infections as a cause. In countries with less of infectious illnesses and good diagnostic facilities, malformations of airways, immune deficiency disorders and primary ciliary dyskinesia are common causes of bronchiectasis. High resolution CT scan of chest confirms the diagnosis. Treatment is supportive care and consists of maintenance of nutrition, airway clearance and antibiotics for exacerbations. Medical treatment is successful in the majority.
