Bronchiectasis Development in a Male Patient With a History of Tuberculosis: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 is a chronic respiratory disease characterized by a syndrome of productive cough and recurrent respiratory infections due to permanent dilatation of the bronchi. In this case, we discuss a 32-year-old male patient with a history of tuberculosis (TB) from a rural area of Wardha, Maharashtra. The case discusses the diagnostic modalities confirming the diagnosis, sputum investigations, and imaging studies like chest X-ray, high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT), pulmonary function test (PFT), and bronchoscopy. This case underscores the importance of early recognition and management of bronchiectasis in patients with a history of pulmonary TB. Chronic inflammation and necrosis from the initial TB infection likely contributed to impaired mucociliary clearance and bronchial dilation, creating a conducive environment for bacterial colonization and recurrent infections. This case highlights the need for long-term follow-up and potential interventions to manage chronic respiratory symptoms in post-TB patients.
