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

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is the most common autosomal, recessive, life-span shortening disease in Caucasians. Since discovery of the gene for CF (cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator [CFTR]) in 1989, knowledge of the molecular function of this gene and its interactions has offered new therapeutic targets. New therapeutics aimed at improving mutant CFTR protein function, also known as 'protein repair therapy,' have been proposed but are yet to be successful in clinical trials. Some of the most exciting efforts involve a new field known as small molecule discovery, which entails the identification, evaluation, and optimization of small organic compounds that can alter the function of a selected gene target or cell phenotype. More than 1300 CFTR mutations have been identified. Many of the more common mutations have been organized into five broad classes based on the fate of the mutant CFTR protein. In each of these mutation classes, interventions have been able to restore some level of CFTR function in vitro. While these 'repairs' have yet to be demonstrated clinically, some early clinical trials are underway. Questions regarding the amount of CFTR correction needed, delivery methods, and optimal therapeutic combinations, however, remain outstanding.
