The effect of an intensive residential rehabilitation program on body composition in patients with cystic fibrosis.
Article in European journal of pediatrics, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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 pulmonary function of patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) is associated with nutritional status not only expressed as body mass index (BMI) but also as fat-free mass index (FFMI). This study evaluated the effect of a residential rehabilitation program on nutritional status (BMI, FFMI). The rehabilitation program provided supervised respiratory and nutritional treatment and daily physical activity for 3 weeks (median stay 20 (19-25) days). At the start and the end of the program, weight, height, pulmonary function, and body composition using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry were prospectively collected. Supervised weighed food records were obtained, and physical activity intensity was measured using a SenseWear Pro3 Armband. CF-related complications were collected from the patient. Thirty-four patients (21 males, median age 18 years old (12-27)) were included. The diet contained a median of 30 EN% fat, 16 EN% protein, and 52 EN% of carbohydrates. A significant median weight gain (+1.45 kg (0.58; 2.6) (p < 0.0001) and a significant increase in BMI (+0.24 kg/m
