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

Numerous mutations in the cystic fibrosis (CF) transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR, a Cl(-) channel) disrupt salt and fluid transport and lead to the formation of thick mucus in patients' airways. Obstruction by mucus predisposes CF patients to chronic infections and inflammation, which become gradually harder to control and eventually fatal. Aggressive antibiotic therapy and supportive measures have dramatically lengthened CF patients' lives. Here, we report that sphingomyelinases (SMase) from human respiratory pathogens strongly inhibit CFTR function. The hydrolysis of sphingomyelin by SMase makes it more difficult to activate CFTR by phosphorylation of its regulatory domain. By inhibiting CFTR currents, SMase-producing respiratory tract bacteria may not only aggravate pulmonary infection in some CF patients but may also elicit a condition, analogous to CFTR deficiency, in non-CF patients suffering from bacterial lung infection.
