Monitoring disease progression in childhood bronchiectasis.
Review in Frontiers in pediatrics, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 3 of them syntheses 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
Bronchiectasis (not related to cystic fibrosis) is a chronic lung disease caused by a range of etiologies but characterized by abnormal airway dilatation, recurrent respiratory symptoms, impaired quality of life and reduced life expectancy. Patients typically experience episodes of chronic wet cough and recurrent pulmonary exacerbations requiring hospitalization. Early diagnosis and management of childhood bronchiectasis are essential to prevent respiratory decline, optimize quality of life, minimize pulmonary exacerbations, and potentially reverse bronchial disease. Disease monitoring potentially allows for (1) the early detection of acute exacerbations, facilitating timely intervention, (2) tracking the rate of disease progression for prognostic purposes, and (3) quantifying the response to therapies. This narrative review article will discuss methods for monitoring disease progression in children with bronchiectasis, including lung imaging, respiratory function, patient-reported outcomes, respiratory exacerbations, sputum biomarkers, and nutritional outcomes.
