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

Bronchiectasis is commonly comorbid with depression and anxiety; therefore, bronchiectasis may be associated with an increased risk of suicide. We aimed to investigate whether suicidal risk is higher in individuals with bronchiectasis. We enrolled 3,903,636 individuals, including 50,975 individuals with bronchiectasis, from the Korean National Health Insurance Service dataset. Suicidal risk was significantly higher in individuals with bronchiectasis than in those without (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR], 1.27; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.11-1.44). The increased risk of suicide was more evident in individuals with bronchiectasis who experienced hospitalization (aHR, 2.23; 95% CI, 1.32-3.77) and when they were underweight (aHR, 2.65; 95% CI, 1.78-3.96), diagnosed with depression (aHR, 3.35; 95% CI, 2.47-4.56) or cancer (aHR, 2.08; 95% CI, 1.18-3.66). In conclusion, bronchiectasis was associated with an increased risk of suicide, which was further heightened in individuals who experienced hospitalization or were underweight or had depression or cancer.
