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

backgroundPeople with cystic fibrosis (CF) heterozygous for F508del-CFTR and a minimal function CFTR mutation (F/MF) that results in no CFTR protein or results in CFTR protein that is not responsive to tezacaftor, ivacaftor, and tezacaftor/ivacaftor in vitro comprise a sizeable percentage of the US CF population. This retrospective, cross-sectional, observational study aimed to characterize CF burden in this subpopulation.

methodsPeople ≥2 years of age in the US CF Foundation Patient Registry with a CF diagnosis, F/MF genotype, and ≥1 encounters in 2017 were included. Descriptive analyses assessed lung function, nutritional parameters, microbiology, hospitalization and pulmonary exacerbation rates, and CF-related complications. Results were stratified by age group; select characteristics were summarized by percent predicted FEV

results5348 people met inclusion criteria. Rates of positive bacterial cultures, pulmonary exacerbations, and hospitalizations were generally higher in older age groups. Prevalence of prescribed symptomatic CF therapies was substantial and also generally higher in older age groups. ppFEV

conclusionsPeople with F/MF genotypes have substantial disease burden that worsened in older age groups consistent with the progressive nature of CF, indicating need for additional treatment options in this subpopulation.
