Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Is Associated With Decreased Quality of Life in Bronchiectasis Patients: Findings From the KMBARC Registry.
Article in Frontiers in medicine, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Most studies have evaluated the impact of non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis (hereafter referred to as bronchiectasis) on quality of life (QoL) in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) using COPD cohorts. Accordingly, the impact of COPD on QoL in patients with bronchiectasis is not well-elucidated. We used the Korean Multicenter Bronchiectasis Audit and Research Collaboration (KMBARC) registry between August 2018 and December 2019, a prospective observational cohort that enrolled patients with bronchiectasis in Korea. We evaluated co-occurrence exposure to COPD in bronchiectasis patients, and the primary outcome was QoL according to the Bronchiectasis Health Questionnaire (BHQ). We also investigated factors associated with decreased QoL, defined as the lowest quartile of the total BHQ score. Of 598 patients with bronchiectasis, 372 (62.2%) had COPD. Bronchiectasis patients with COPD had a significantly lower total BHQ score compared with those without COPD [median = 63.1 (interquartile range: 54.8-68.6) vs. 64.8 (57.4-70.8),
