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

Objective: This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a home-based pulmonary rehabilitation program for patients with stable bronchiectasis in improving their quality of life and reducing acute exacerbations. Methods: A randomized controlled trial design was employed, with patients randomly assigned to an intervention group (receiving the pre-designed home-based pulmonary rehabilitation program for bronchiectasis) or a control group (receiving standard respiratory care). The effects of the program on quality of life, lung function indicators, and the frequency of acute exacerbations were assessed. Results: Preliminary findings indicate that the home-based pulmonary rehabilitation program significantly improved quality of life scores, enhanced lung function, and reduced the frequency of acute exacerbations ( Conclusion: The home-based pulmonary rehabilitation program is an effective intervention for patients with stable bronchiectasis, contributing to improved clinical outcomes and quality of life.
