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: Bronchiectasis is a common structural lung disease associated with pulmonary nocardiosis (PN), but the differences between PN patients with and without bronchiectasis remain insufficiently characterized. Methods: We conducted a single-center retrospective study of hospitalized patients with PN at Beijing Chaoyang Hospital from January 2012 to December 2024. Patients were grouped by bronchiectasis status, and their clinical, radiological, and microbiological features were compared. Multivariable logistic regression was used to identify factors independently associated with bronchiectasis. Results: Among 154 patients, 86 (55.8%) had bronchiectasis. Of 162 Conclusion: PN showed distinct clinical and radiological patterns according to bronchiectasis status. Greater diagnostic attention may be warranted in patients without bronchiectasis.
