Role of hyperglycemia in cystic fibrosis pulmonary exacerbations.
Article in Journal of cystic fibrosis : official journal of the European Cystic Fibrosis Society, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundHyperglycemia could affect treatment response during cystic fibrosis (CF) exacerbations. We aimed to evaluate the prevalence and associations of hyperglycemia with exacerbation outcomes. We also evaluated feasibility of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) during exacerbations.
methodsThe STOP2 study assessed efficacy and safety of different durations of intravenous antibiotics for CF exacerbations. We conducted a secondary data analysis of random glucose levels measured as part of clinical care during exacerbations. A small subset of participants also underwent CGM per research protocol. The associations between hyperglycemia, defined as random glucose ≥140 mg/dL, and changes in weight and lung function with exacerbation treatment were evaluated with linear regression after adjustment for confounding variables.
resultsGlucose levels were available for 182 STOP2 participants of mean (SD) age 31.6 (10.8) years, baseline percent predicted (pp) FEV1 53.6 (22.5); 37% had CF related diabetes and 27% were on insulin. Hyperglycemia was detected in 44% of participants. Adjusted mean difference (95% CI) was 1.34% (-1.39, 4.08) (p = 0.336) for change in ppFEV1 and 0.33 kg (-0.11, 0.78) (p = 0.145) for change in weight between hyperglycemic and non-hyperglycemic groups. Ten participants not on antidiabetic agents in the 4 weeks prior to enrollment underwent CGM; mean (SD) time spent >140 mg/dL was 24.6% (12.5) with 9/10 participants spending >4.5% time >140 mg/dL.
conclusionsHyperglycemia identified with random glucose is prevalent during CF exacerbations but not associated with changes in lung function or weight with exacerbation treatment. CGM is feasible and may provide a useful tool for hyperglycemia monitoring during exacerbations.
