Use of elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor among cystic fibrosis lung transplant recipients.
Article in Journal of cystic fibrosis : official journal of the European Cystic Fibrosis Society, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundCystic fibrosis (CF) lung transplant (LT) recipients may warrant treatment with elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor (ETI) to improve extrapulmonary manifestations of CF. Our objectives were to identify reasons for prescribing ETI after LT and evaluate changes in body mass index (BMI), hemoglobin A1c, hemoglobin, and liver enzymes.
methodsThis was an electronic health record-based cohort study, October 2019-September 2020, at 14 CF LT Consortium sites in North America. The study included CF LT recipients prescribed ETI after transplant. Differences in BMI, A1c, and hemoglobin were assessed with paired t-tests.
resultsThere were 94 patients prescribed ETI; indications included sinus disease (68%), GI symptoms (39%), or low BMI (19%). Prescriptions were written by CF physicians (34%), LT physicians (27%), or physicians who practice both CF and LT (39%). Forty patients (42%) stopped ETI at a median of 56 days [IQR 26, 139] after start/prescription date. ETI was not associated with a significant change in BMI (0.2 kg/m
conclusionsETI is rarely prescribed for non-pulmonary indications after LT for CF. Further study is needed to determine the risks and benefits of ETI in the CF lung transplant population given the potential for drug interactions, side effects leading to discontinuation of ETI, and the possible mechanisms for ETI to positively impact long-term post-transplant outcomes.
