Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator Modulators During Pregnancy: A Case Series.
Article in Cureus, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is the most common genetic disease in the United States (US) and, with the development of newer therapeutics, there is increased fertility among women with CF. We present a series of pregnant patients taking novel CF transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) modulators and summarize pertinent clinical considerations. All women conceived within four months after starting elexacaftor-ivacaftor-tezacaftor. Pulmonary function was stable before and during pregnancy. One patient developed transaminitis necessitating discontinuation of the medication mid-trimester. All patients delivered healthy neonates between 36-38 weeks of gestation with uncomplicated postpartum courses. No birth defects were encountered. Given that newly introduced CFTR modulators may increase fertility among CF patients, contraception counseling, pulmonary function monitoring, liver function monitoring, and multi-disciplinary care are important pillars of management.
