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

Background: Non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis (NCFB) is linked to an increased incidence of cardiovascular disease (CVD), but its impact on mortality is unclear. This study aimed to assess the effect of CVD on mortality and its relationship with clinical characteristics in NCFB patients. Methods: This multicentre retrospective study analysed baseline characteristics and outcomes of 2753 NCFB patients, including 648 with CVD. Univariate and multivariate analyses identified factors associated with CVD and mortality, comparing demographics, comorbidities and pulmonary function between patients with and without CVD. Results: Patients with CVD were significantly older (76.4 Conclusion: CVD in NCFB is associated with severe clinical profiles and poor outcomes. Older age, higher BMI and comorbidity burden significantly correlate with CVD presence. CVD is an independent risk factor for mortality, highlighting the importance of early identification and management of cardiovascular comorbidities in patients with NCFB.
