Preservation of β-cell Function in Pancreatic Insufficient Cystic Fibrosis With Highly Effective CFTR Modulator Therapy.
Article in The Journal of clinical endocrinology and metabolism, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
contextElexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor (ETI; Trikafta) enhances aberrant cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator function and may improve the insulin secretory defects associated with a deterioration in clinical outcomes in pancreatic insufficient cystic fibrosis (PI-CF).
objectiveThis longitudinal case-control study assessed changes in β-cell function and secretory capacity measures over 2 visits in individuals with PI-CF who were initiated on ETI after the baseline visit (2012-2018) and (1) restudied between 2019 and 2021 (ETI group) vs (2) those restudied between 2015 and 2018 and not yet treated with cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator modulator therapy (controls).
methodsNine ETI participants (mean ± SD age, 25 ± 5 years) and 8 matched controls were followed up after a median (interquartile range) 5 (4-7) and 3 (2-3) years, respectively (P < .01), with ETI initiation a median of 1 year before follow-up. Clinical outcomes, glucose-potentiated arginine, and mixed-meal tolerance test measures were assessed with comparisons of within- and between-group change by nonparametric testing.
resultsGlucose-potentiated insulin and C-peptide responses to glucose-potentiated arginine deteriorated in controls but not in the ETI group, with C-peptide changes different between groups (P < .05). Deterioration in basal proinsulin secretory ratio was observed in controls but improved, as did the maximal arginine-induced proinsulin secretory ratio, in the ETI group (P < .05 for all comparisons). During mixed-meal tolerance testing, early insulin secretion improved as evidenced by more rapid insulin secretory rate kinetics.
conclusionETI preserves β-cell function in CF through effects on glucose-dependent insulin secretion, proinsulin processing, and meal-related insulin secretion. Further work should determine whether early intervention with ETI can prevent deterioration of glucose tolerance in PI-CF.
