Dipeptidyl peptidase-1 inhibitors in bronchiectasis.
Review in European respiratory review : an official journal of the European Respiratory Society, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
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
Dipeptidyl peptidase (DPP)-1 (also known as cathepsin C) inhibitors are the first disease-specific therapy shown to be effective in bronchiectasis. The mechanism of action of DPP-1 inhibitors is suppression of activity of neutrophil serine proteases (NSPs) by preventing them from being activated during neutrophil maturation in the bone marrow. NSPs exert multiple directly damaging effects and contribute to ongoing dysregulated airway inflammation. High airway levels of NSPs are linked to bronchiectasis disease severity. Several phase 2 and one phase 3 trial have now confirmed that DPP-1 inhibitors reduce activity of the NSPs in the airways and have clinical benefits in bronchiectasis including reducing exacerbations and improving other clinical end-points such as quality of life and slowing lung function decline. DPP-1 inhibition may also be a promising treatment avenue in other diseases where neutrophilic inflammation is implicated. Future directions include establishing direct and downstream effects of DPP-1 inhibitors in humans and seeking biomarkers to guide clinical application.
