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

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a rare genetic disease caused by mutations in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR), an epithelial anion channel expressed in several vital organs. Absence of functional CFTR results in imbalanced osmotic equilibrium and subsequent mucus build up in the lungs-which increases the risk of infection and eventually causes death. CFTR is an ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter family protein composed of two transmembrane domains (TMDs), two nucleotide binding domains (NBDs), and an unstructured regulatory domain. The most prevalent patient mutation is the deletion of F508 (F508del), making F508del CFTR the primary target for current FDA approved CF therapies. However, no experimental multi-domain F508del CFTR structure has been determined and few studies have modeled F508del using multi-domain WT CFTR structures. Here, we used cryo-EM density data and Rosetta comparative modeling (RosettaCM) to compare a F508del model with published experimental data on CFTR NBD1 thermodynamics. We then apply this modeling method to generate multi-domain WT and F508del CFTR structural models. These models demonstrate the destabilizing effects of F508del on NBD1 and the NBD1/TMD interface in both the inactive and active conformation of CFTR. Furthermore, we modeled F508del/R1070W and F508del bound to the CFTR corrector VX-809. Our models reveal the stabilizing effects of VX-809 on multi-domain models of F508del CFTR and pave the way for rational design of additional drugs that target F508del CFTR for treatment of CF.
