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

backgroundHispanic subjects with cystic fibrosis (CF) have increased morbidity and mortality than non-Hispanic white subjects. The ethnic disparity in mortality varies by region. Factors influencing pulmonary function vary by both ethnicity and region.

objectiveTo determine if the ethnic difference in pulmonary function varies by region.

methodsThis retrospective cohort study compared differences in longitudinal pulmonary function (percent-predicted forced vital capacity [FVC], forced expiratory volume in 1 second [FEV

resultsOf 14 932 subjects, 1433 (9.6%) were Hispanic and 13 499 (90.4%) were non-Hispanic white. Hispanic subjects' FEV

conclusionsIn CF, Hispanic subjects have lower pulmonary function than non-Hispanic white subjects in all geographic regions with the largest difference in occurring in the West.
