A case-control study on the risk factors associated with the occurrence of non-tuberculous mycobacteria pulmonary disease in bronchiectasis patients.
Article in BMC pulmonary medicine, 2023. 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
objectiveThe objective of this study is to analyze the risk factors associated with bronchiectasis combined with non-tuberculous mycobacteria pulmonary disease(NTM-PD) and provide a basis for more effective prevention and treatment strategies.
methodsThe study subjects for this manuscript were patients with bronchiectasis who were admitted to the infection department between January 2021 and June 2023.There were 34 patients with NTM-PD in the observation group, and 52 patients with simple bronchiectasis in the control group. Basic information, imaging features, serum albumin levels, and infection indicators were collected from both groups of patients.Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis were performed to analyze the risk factors for NTM-PD in patients with bronchiectasis.
resultsMultivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that bronchiectasis exacerbation occurring at least twice a year(OR = 3.884, 95% CI: 1.200-12.568), involvement of three or more lung lobes with bronchiectasis (OR = 3.932, 95% CI: 1.208-12.800), hypoalbuminemia (OR = 3.221, 95% CI: 1.015-10.219), and the NLR index (OR = 1.595, 95% CI: 1.200-2.119) were significant risk factors for non-tuberculous mycobacteria pulmonary disease in individuals with bronchiectasis (P < 0.05).
conclusionPatients with bronchiectasis accompanied by NTM-PD present specific risk factors that should be promptly addressed through prevention and treatment.
