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

backgroundTobacco smoke exposure is a major risk factor for the health of children and adolescents with CF. In this study, we assess whether cessation of smoke exposure is associated with improved outcomes in this population.

methodsWe used annualized and encounter-based data from the U.S. CF Foundation Patient Registry (2006-2018) on all individuals born 1998-2010. The analytical sample included those who ever reported second-hand smoke exposure (daily or weekly), ever lived with a smoker, or ever reported smoking themselves. We used non-linear mixed models for pulmonary exacerbations and linear mixed models for ppFEV

resultsThe sample included 3,633 individuals contributing 19,629 person-years. Cessation of smoke exposure reduced the odds of a pulmonary exacerbation in 12 months by 17% (OR 0.83, p < 0.001) in the first year of cessation, with an additional 6% decrease (OR 0.94, p = 0.003) for each additional year of cessation. Cessation was associated with improvements in ppFEV

conclusionEliminating smoke exposure may reduce pulmonary exacerbations and improve respiratory and nutritional outcomes in children and adolescents with CF. Both smoking cessation and exposure prevention should be prioritized in pediatric CF care.
