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

purpose of reviewThis review provides an update on definitions of chronicity of infection, approaches to airway sampling to detect infection, strategies for Pseudomonas aeruginosa eradication, impact of cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator protein (CFTR) modulators and future challenges for clinical trials. RECENT

findingsRates of P. aeruginosa have decreased over the past two decades with establishment of effective eradication protocols. Definitions of chronic P. aeruginosa infection have required adaptation for healthier populations. Although molecular (PCR) approaches to early P. aeruginosa detection are sensitive, to date, earlier diagnosis has not impacted on clinical outcomes. Despite eradication regimens, some people with early P. aeruginosa fail to clear their infection. Most people also experience a recurrence and eventual transition to chronic infection. Several recent studies sought to address this gap. CFTR modulators (predominantly ivacaftor) demonstrated reduced P. aeruginosa density, although infection may persist or recur demonstrating the need for continued antiinfective therapies in the modulator era. SUMMARY: Future studies of approaches to P. aeruginosa eradication will be complex due to expanded availability and ongoing competitive clinical trials of CFTR modulators. Studies to address optimal eradication therapy, particularly in adults, will be required, though adequate recruitment to power these studies may prove challenging.
