1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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: Osteoporosis increases the burden and disease related adverse events of comorbidities in some chronic disease. The relationships between osteoporosis and bronchiectasis are not fully understood. This cross-sectional study explores the features of osteoporosis in male patients with bronchiectasis. Methods: From January 2017 to December 2019, male patients (age >50 years) with stable bronchiectasis were included, as were normal subjects. Data on demographic characteristics and clinical features were collected. Results: Totally, 108 male patients with bronchiectasis and 56 controls were analyzed. Osteoporosis was observed in 31.5% (34/108) of patients with bronchiectasis and 17.9% (10/56) of controls (P=0.001). The T-score negatively correlated with age (R=-0.235, P=0.014) and bronchiectasis severity index score (BSI; R=-0.336, P<0.001). BSI score ≥9 was a major factor associated with osteoporosis [odd ratio (OR) =4.52; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.57-12.96; P=0.005]. Other factors associated with osteoporosis included body-mass index (BMI) <18.5 kg/m Conclusions: The prevalence of osteoporosis was higher in male bronchiectasis patients than that in controls. Factors including age, BMI, smoking history, and BSI were associated with osteoporosis. Early diagnosis and treatment might be of great value in prevention and management of osteoporosis in patients with bronchiectasis.
