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

BackgroundPrevalence of bronchiectasis among the adult Aboriginal Australians is high, estimated to be up to 19.4/1000 people, with associated higher morbidity and mortality. However, despite evidence to suggest that adult Aboriginal Australians have higher bronchiectasis disease burden, the knowledge surrounding sputum antimicrobial susceptibility data is sparce.ObjectivesTo assess the sputum antimicrobial susceptibility patterns among adult Aboriginal patients with bronchiectasis in the Northern Territory of Australia.DesignRetrospective study.MethodPatients aged 18 years and over with sputum antimicrobial susceptibility results available between 2011-2020 during a respiratory related hospital admission (restricted to ICD J presentations) were included. The sputum samples were processed and antibacterial susceptibility reported as per recommended selective susceptibility testing guidelines.ResultsA total of 183 patients had positive sputum cultures. Of these, 167 had antimicrobial susceptibility tested. Antimicrobial resistance to at least one antibiotic was noted for
