Effectiveness and Safety of Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator Modulators in Children With Cystic Fibrosis: A Meta-Analysis.
Article in Frontiers in pediatrics, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Background and Aim: Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a genetic disease that is difficult to treat and caused by dysfunction of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) protein. Small molecules have been used to treat the symptom caused by CFTR mutations by restoring CFTR protein function. However, the data on children with CF are scarce. This meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of this therapy in children diagnosed with CF. Materials and Methods: Relevant studies were identified through searching medical databases before April 1, 2022. The primary outcomes of ppFEV Results: A total of twelve studies were included. Compared with the placebo group, the pooled outcome of the ppFEV1, LCI Conclusion: CFTR modulators could improve multiaspect function in children with CF and result in comparable adverse events.
