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
objectiveBronchiectasis is a chronic suppurative lung disease that significantly impacts the patients' quality of life. Aim of this study is to evaluate the relationship between life of quality and patient's psychological status and bronchiectasis disease severity indexes in patients with non-Cystic Fibrosis (CF) bronchiectasis. We also aimed to investigate the validity and reliability of Turkish version of Quality-of-Life Questionnaire-Bronchiectasis (QoL-B V3.1) in Turkish adult bronchiectatic patients. MATERIAL AND
methods90 stable non-CF bronchiectatic adult patients were enrolled into this study. At baseline, dyspnea score, BMI, lung function tests, sputum cultures, number of exacerbations and hospital admissions, disease severity indexes were recorded. All of the participants underwent quality of life assessment using both QoL-B V3.1 and of Short-Form (SF)-36 questionnaires, psychological status was evaluated by using HADS (Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale).
resultsIn all study participants, anxiety was diagnosed in 27/90 (30%) of patients and depression was diagnosed in 37/90 (41%) of patients. Patients with anxiety and depression had lower quality of life scores in various domains (p:0.026-p:0.001) and HADS scores negatively correlated with several quality-of-life domains (r=-0.216 - r=- 0.343). Female patients had higher risk for depression (55% vs 22%, p:0.002) and worse quality of life than males (p:0.016-p:0.038). Several life quality scores of both instruments were worse in patients with moderate-severe disease severity indexes when compared with those of mild groups. Moreover, Turkish version of newly described QoL-B V3.1 questionnaire was found to be reliable and valid instrument to evaluate the quality of life.
conclusionThese results emphasize the importance of mental health and disease severity as significant determinants of the life quality in patients particularly female patients with non-CF bronchiectasis.
