Risk of Bacterial Transmission in Bronchiectasis Outpatient Clinics.
Review in Current pulmonology reports, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
purpose of reviewThe purpose of this review is to discuss the risk of bacterial cross-infection for bronchiectasis patients in the outpatient setting. Cross-infection has primarily been a matter of concern in cystic fibrosis (CF). There is considerable evidence of transmission of pathogens between CF patients, and this has led to guideline recommendations advocating strict segregation policies. Guidelines in bronchiectasis do not specifically address the issue of cross-infection. If cross-infection is prevalent, it may have significant implications for patients and the practical running of specialist care. RECENT
findingsMultiple UK-based studies have now published evidence of cross-infection with SUMMARY: The current evidence for cross-infection in bronchiectasis is limited, but suggests a small risk with
