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

This study investigated the efficacy and prognosis of bronchoscopic interventional therapy in elderly patients with tracheobronchial tuberculosis (TBTB). We prospectively included 142 elderly patients with TBTB for interventional treatments such as bronchoscopic balloon dilation, mechanical evacuation, and stent implantation, and long-term follow-up (median 28.4 months). The results showed that the technical success rate of interventional therapy was 90.8, 92.3% of patients had improved symptoms, and FEV1 was significantly improved from 43.2% at baseline to 65.8% after surgery (
