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

The cellular mechanisms by which loss-of-function mutations in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) chloride channel produce cystic fibrosis (CF) lung disease remain uncertain. Defective organellar function has been proposed as an important determinant in the pathogenesis of CF lung disease. According to one hypothesis, reduced CFTR chloride conductance in organelles in CF impairs their acidification by preventing chloride entry into the organelle lumen, which is needed to balance the positive charge produced by proton entry. According to a different hypothesis, CFTR mutation hyperacidifies organelles by an indirect mechanism involving unregulated sodium efflux through epithelial sodium channels. There are reports of defective Golgi, endosomal and lysosomal acidification in CF epithelial cells, defective phagolysosomal acidification in CF alveolar macrophages, and organellar hyperacidification in CF respiratory epithelial cells. The common theme relating too high or low organellar pH to cellular dysfunction and CF pathogenesis is impaired functioning of organellar enzymes, such as those involved in ceramide metabolism and protein processing in epithelial cells and antimicrobial activity in alveolar macrophages. We review here the evidence for defective organellar acidification in CF. Significant technical and conceptual concerns are discussed regarding the validity of data showing too high/low organellar pH in CF cells, and rigorous measurements of organellar pH in CF cells are reviewed that fail to support defective organellar acidification in CF. Indeed, there is an expanding body of evidence supporting the involvement of non-CFTR chloride channels in organellar acidification. We conclude that biologically significant involvement of CFTR in organellar acidification is unlikely.
