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

Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is a rare inherited disorder characterised by impaired ciliary function, leading to chronic upper and lower airway disease from early life. Limited awareness of the condition contributes to delayed diagnosis, with some individuals first diagnosed in adulthood following specialised testing. We describe 91 adults referred to the PCD diagnostic service at the Royal Children's Hospital in Melbourne, Australia over a 10-year period. Twenty-eight adults were diagnosed with PCD (31% referrals). The most common reason for referral was bronchiectasis. These findings highlight the importance of considering PCD in adults presenting with features suggestive of chronic airway disease, particularly bronchiectasis.
