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
Background: Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is a congenital disorder characterized by chronic respiratory morbidity. To date, there is no information on PCD-specific preference-based quality of life measures such as health utilities (HU). We cross-sectionally assessed HU in adult PCD patients and explored relationships with genotype, phenotype and quality of life (QOL)-PCD scales. Methods: Diagnostic testing was performed according to international guidelines, while participants completed the visual analog scale (VAS), time trade off (TTO), standard gamble (SG), and EuroQol 5 dimensions (EQ5D) HU instruments, as well as the QOL-PCD questionnaire. Hierarchical regression was used to identify the QOL-PCD scales that are most predictive of HU. Results: Among 31 patients, median HU are 0.75 (VAS), 0.86 (EQ5D), 0.91 (TTO) and 0.99 (SG). The underlying genotype is not associated with HU measures. VAS and EQ5D are associated with lung function, while TTO and SG values are not sensitive to any of the examined factors. Among the QOL-PCD scales, physical functioning and lower respiratory symptoms explained much of VAS (R Conclusions: Our study demonstrates that HU elicitation in PCD is feasible using both direct and indirect methods. Overall, HU scores are relatively high among adult patients, with higher scores observed in SG and TTO, followed by EQ5D and VAS. VAS and EQ5D HU values are sensitive to lung function as well as to QOL-PCD physical functioning and lower respiratory symptom scores.
