Cystic fibrosis patients at risk for disease progression marked by decline in FEV1% predicted: development of the cystic fibrosis risk of disease progression score.
Article in Journal of thoracic disease, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundCystic fibrosis (CF) is one of the most common recessively inherited disorders diagnosed in early childhood in the United States. Determining the phenotype of CF patients likely to experience a significant drop in FEV1% predicted will help target efforts for mitigating this deleterious disorder.
methodsThis retrospective cohort study evaluated potential risk variables that account for the decline in FEV1% predicted in 81 CF patients treated at Miller Children's and Women's Hospital, CA. Cystic fibrosis risk of disease progression (CF RD-Pro) score was evaluated as a tool to identify high-risk patients for accelerated disease progression (event = drop in FEV1% predicted ≥10 percentage points) based on risk variables identified as significant.
resultsROC analysis determined classification of high versus low-moderate risk of FEV1% decline during year two based on RD-Pro score. Scores ≥2 applied as threshold for high-risk revealed relatively good validity estimates: sensitivity =82.8%, specificity =66.7%, PVP =77.4%, PVN =73.7%, and correct classification =76%. Patients with CF RD-Pro scores suggestive of high (≥2 points)
conclusionsIdentification of patients at high risk for significant decline in lung function will enable address of potential therapeutic modalities, environmental exposures, and behavioral variants that may improve outcomes in these patients. The power of the CF RD-Pro Score lies in its simplicity. Our study provides a novel readily available score, which incorporates body mass index (BMI) and
