Distance-saturation product of the 6-minute walk test predicts mortality of patients with non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis.
Article in Journal of thoracic disease, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 22 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
backgroundPrevious surveillance methods to monitor the prognoses of patients with bronchiectasis are too complex for use in daily practice. The 6-minute walk test (6MWT) is a simple exercise test to predict the prognosis of chronic obstructive airway disease and numerous chronic lung diseases, including idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. No studies have investigated exercise-induced oxygen desaturation (EID) and distance-saturation product (DSP) of 6MWT to predict the prognoses of patients with bronchiectasis.
methodsThis was a prospective study to identify correlations between variables of 6MWT and mortality in patients with bronchiectasis over a 6-year period. The study cohort included 69 patients with stable non-cystic fibrosis (non-CF) bronchiectasis who were regularly evaluated for functional status via 6-minute walk distance (6MWD), spirometry, BODE index, EID, and DSP.
resultsOf the 69 patients, 9 (13%) died and 60 (87%) survived during the 6-year follow-up period. The percentage of EID was higher [7 of 9 patients (78%)
conclusionsDSP is a simple parameter to predict 6-year mortality in patients with non-CF bronchiectasis.
