Cystic fibrosis prevalence among a group of high-risk children in the main referral children hospital in Iran.
Article in Journal of education and health promotion, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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.
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
backgroundKnowledge about cystic fibrosis (CF) in Iran is very limited. The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of CF among a group of high-risk children with suggestive clinical features in the main referral hospital in Iran. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis study children consisted of 505 patients who had presented with one or more of the following symptoms: chronic or recurrent respiratory symptoms, gastrointestinal symptoms as rectal prolapse, steatorrhea, hepatobiliary disease as prolonged jaundice, failure to thrive, hyperglycemia and glycosuria, hypochloremic metabolic alkalosis, hypoprothrombinemia, anemia or edema, and positive family history of CF. Patients were screened using pilocarpine iontophoresis to collect sweat and chemical analysis of its chloride content with classic Gibson and Cooke technique.
resultsOf 505 patients, 89 (17.6%) had positive sweat chloride screening test. Five (1%) patients had required cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductive regulator protein mutation analysis to confirm CF.
conclusionOur findings suggest that in Iran, CF is more common than what previously anticipated. Larger studies are warranted to identify the incidence, molecular basis, and clinical pattern of CF in the Iranian population.
