The radiological diagnosis of bronchiectasis: what's in a name?
Review in European respiratory review : an official journal of the European Respiratory Society, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06346938 (The Clinical Significance of CT-based Biomarkers in the Classification and Prognosis of Bronchiectasis), which is not on this map. Cited by 35 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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.

Abstract
Diagnosis of bronchiectasis is usually made using chest computed tomography (CT) scan, the current gold standard method. A bronchiectatic airway can show abnormal widening and thickening of its airway wall. In addition, it can show an irregular wall and lack of tapering, and/or can be visible in the periphery of the lung. Its diagnosis is still largely expert based. More recently, it has become clear that airway dimensions on CT and therefore the diagnosis of bronchiectasis are highly dependent on lung volume. Hence, control of lung volume is required during CT acquisition to standardise the evaluation of airways. Automated image analysis systems are in development for the objective analysis of airway dimensions and for the diagnosis of bronchiectasis. To use these systems, clear and objective definitions for the diagnosis of bronchiectasis are needed. Furthermore, the use of these systems requires standardisation of CT protocols and of lung volume during chest CT acquisition. In addition, sex- and age-specific reference values are needed for image analysis outcome parameters. This review focusses on today's issues relating to the radiological diagnosis of bronchiectasis using state-of-the-art CT imaging techniques.
