Article in Chest, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
case presentationA 53-year-old Black woman was referred to the pulmonary clinic for progressively worsening exertional dyspnea over the past 3 years and a chronic nonproductive cough. She had a history of childhood asthma, with 2 prior hospitalizations, as well as an unspecified nasal surgery 20 years ago. She was diagnosed with bronchiectasis 10 years ago by her primary care physician and was compliant with airway clearance techniques, including nebulized hypertonic (7%) saline and albuterol-ipratropium and a positive expiratory pressure handheld device. Review of systems was positive for fatigue, seasonal allergies, occasional heartburn, and occasional stiffness of the small joints of the hands. She had a family history of asthma in her cousin and sarcoidosis in her father; her mother had a significant smoking history and was deceased from complications of lung cancer. She had no history of occupational exposures, no pets, and no significant travel history.
