Impact of COVID-19 pandemic on health care system, work, and mental well-being of people with cystic fibrosis.
Article in Irish journal of medical science, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundCOVID-19 pandemic has been challenging for all, particularly for high-risk groups including people with cystic fibrosis (PWCF).
aimThis study aims to examine impact of COVID-19 pandemic on the lives of PWCF in relation to hospital visits, use of telemedicine, employment, and mental well-being.
methodsA cross-sectional online survey was developed by the Cystic Fibrosis (CF) Ireland research team and uploaded on SmartSurvey UK. The survey was advertised by CF Ireland via their website and social media in October 2020. The University College Dublin research partner team conducted the analysis. Logistic regression was used for the analysis, using IBM SPSS Version 26.
resultsOne hundred nineteen PWCF responded. 47.5% deferred their hospital visits, with delays ranging from 1 to 6 months. Deferrals impacted rehabilitation therapies, medical care at hospital, and diagnostic tests. For many, online consultation was a new experience (51.7%), and 87.8% were satisfied with this method. Among those who worked during lockdown (47.8%), 87.2% (n = 48) worked at home. PWCF aged < 35 years (9.6%) were more likely to work onsite as compared to those > 35 years (1.9%). When adjusted for gender and employment, PWCF aged < 35 years were more likely to feel "nervous" (OR: 3.28; P = 0.02), "nothing could cheer them up" (OR: 3.24; P = 0.04), and "tired" (OR: 2.76; P = 0.02) as compared to those > 35 years.
conclusionCOVID 19 pandemic has greatly impacted PWCF in terms of hospital visits, access to tests, CF care, and psychological well-being. Younger PWCF reported greater impact on psychological health. Online consultation and electronic prescription were welcomed and could have a role post-pandemic.
