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

Bronchiectasis is a chronic and heterogeneous pulmonary disease characterized by permanent airway dilatation resulting from a complex and interconnected cycle of impaired mucociliary clearance, persistent airway inflammation, and recurrent infection, with this 'vicious vortex', ultimately leading to progressive lung damage and reduced quality of life over time. Malnutrition is common and represents a major prognostic factor in bronchiectasis, associated with impaired lung function, increased hospitalization, and higher mortality. Systematic nutritional assessment and intervention should therefore be integrated into routine care for these patients. However, evidence guiding optimal nutritional strategies remains limited, and validated nutritional guidelines for bronchiectasis are lacking. This review provides a structured framework to support clinicians in optimizing nutritional management in bronchiectasis, based on the treatable traits model proposed by Boaventura et al. in 2018. We examine the pathophysiology of malnutrition across the four domains of treatable traits, including aetiological, pulmonary, extrapulmonary, and environmental factors, to elucidate the complex bidirectional relationship between malnutrition and bronchiectasis. Finally, we highlight the treatable traits framework as a foundation for the development of a practical nutritional checklist and clinical toolbox. Through this pragmatic approach, clinicians may deliver personalized and precise nutritional assessment and management, with the potential to improve clinical outcomes and prognosis in bronchiectasis.
