Pulmonary Function Tests in the Evaluation of Early Lung Disease in Cystic Fibrosis.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundProperly evaluating respiratory system dysfunction is essential in children with cystic fibrosis (CF). This prospective study aimed to assess the course of early lung disease based on multiple breath nitrogen washout (MBNW), impulse oscillometry (IOS), and conventional techniques, such as spirometry and body plethysmography.
methodsOver a 2 year recruitment period, subjects with CF aged 7-18 performed pulmonary function tests (PFTs). Moreover, the nutritional and microbiological status, frequency of pulmonary exacerbations (PExs), and patients' health-related quality of life (HRQoL) were assessed.
resultsThe mean age of the children (n = 69) was 14.09 ± 3.26 years; F/M 37/32. Spirometry-based diagnoses of normal lung function (forced expiratory volume in 1 s, FEV
conclusionsMBNW and IOS are more helpful tools than conventional techniques in assessing early lung disease in CF. LCI is a more useful parameter for detecting functional abnormalities than FEV
