Review in Animal models and experimental medicine, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07062939 (Comparative Effects of Manual Versus Mechanical Airway Clearance Techniques in Cystic Fibrosis), which is not on this map. Cited by 66 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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.

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.

Abstract

Cystic fibrosis is an autosomal recessive disease caused by mutations of the gene encoding the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR). Here we summarize, at the basic descriptive level, clinical and genetic characteristics of cystic fibrosis gene mutations, while emphasizing differences between CF mutations found in Chinese pediatric CF patients compared to those found in Caucasian CF patients. In addition, we describe animal models used to study human cystic fibrosis disease and highlight unique features of each model that mimic specific human CF-associated signs and symptoms. At the clinical level, we summarize CF clinical manifestations and diagnostic, treatment, and prognostic methods to provide clinicians with information toward reducing CF misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis rates.
