Navigating COPD and Bronchiectasis: A COPD Foundation Survey of Differences in Patient-Perceived Health Care Experiences by Sex.

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
Rationale: Chronic lung diseases, including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and bronchiectasis (BE), may differ by sex in symptom onset, diagnostic delays, and disease burden. This study examined health care experiences and symptom burden among individuals with self-reported COPD, BE, or nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM). Methods: This cross-sectional study analyzed data from an online survey of U.S. and international participants with self-reported COPD, BE, or NTM, recruited via COPD Foundation social media. The questionnaire, developed with input from COPD Foundation leadership, physician-researchers, and patient stakeholders, assessed health care experiences, disease burden, and symptoms. A subset of women answered menopause-related questions. Descriptive statistics were compared by sex and disease group: COPD (with/without BE or NTM) and BE (with/without NTM). T-tests assessed continuous variables; Chi-square or Fisher's exact tests analyzed categorical variables. Results: Among 632 respondents (mean age 70±9 years, 74% women), 68% reported COPD and 32% BE. Women with COPD were younger ( Conclusions: Differences in diagnostic delays and symptom burden highlight the need for further research into health care disparities to improve pulmonary care and outcomes.
