[Chronic Bronchial Infection in Stable COPD].
Review in Open respiratory archives. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Classically, the role of pulmonary infection in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) has focused on periods of exacerbation. However, in a clinically stable situation, little attention has been paid to the role play by the presence of potentially pathogenic micro-organisms (especially when they are repeatedly isolated, which is known as chronic bronchial infection [CBI]) in the pathogenesis, prognosis and disease treatment. In recent years, however, some evidence has been published on the deleterious effect of CBI in COPD since it has been associated to greater local inflammation, greater disease severity, poorer health-related quality of life, greater number and severity of exacerbations and cardiovascular events, presence of bronchiectasis, rapid decline of lung function, and even higher mortality (especially related to
