1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

introductionPeople with cystic fibrosis (CF) are living longer, thus complications associated with age, such as hemoptysis, are increasing. The Institute of Medicine has emphasized the importance of patient-centeredness. Although guidelines about hemoptysis in people with CF are available, these focus on management of the complication and not the patient perspective.

objectiveWe sought to understand hemoptysis from the point of view of those who have experienced it.

methodsWe fielded an 11-question survey to adults with CF and asked those who had hemoptysis to respond. Four questions had open-ended options: (1) the person's first experience with hemoptysis, (2) how that experience affected the way they approach their CF, (3) how they deal with hemoptysis when it occurs outside the home and (4) a free text box for general comments.

resultsThirty-one of 132 adults with CF who were sent a survey completed it (23% response rate); 63% F), indicated that they had experienced hemoptysis and described their triggers. In response to open questioning, 77% of respondents found their first experience with hemoptysis to be 'scary,' 'frightening,' 'worrying' or 'jarring.' Half of respondents reported quality of life being negatively affected by worsening stress or anxiety, fear of bleeding in public or other life impacts.

conclusionsFocusing on how to cope with future episodes of hemoptysis and the associated anxiety can be helpful to patients. Proactive communication and sensitivity to patient experience may deepen physician-patient rapport, increase self-efficacy to cope with future episodes and lead to more comprehensive care of hemoptysis.
