1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundWhile elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor (ETI) has improved the pulmonary health of many people with cystic fibrosis (PwCF), less is known about ETI effectiveness for extra-pulmonary manifestations, including fat-soluble vitamin malabsorption. This study aims to evaluate ETI's impact on vitamin A, D, E, and international normalized ratio (INR, an indirect marker for Vitamin K) serum levels.

methodsRetrospective cohort study of PwCF ≥12 years receiving ETI. Vitamin levels up to four years preceding and up to two years following ETI initiation were collected. Pairwise comparisons of vitamin levels pre/post-ETI initiation were made using Wilcoxon signed rank and McNemar's tests. Linear mixed effect models were used to regress vitamin levels on time since starting ETI, ETI use (yes/no), the interaction between time and ETI use, and age.

resultsTwo hundred and sixty-four participants met study inclusion, and 169 (64%) had post-ETI initiation vitamin levels. Median vitamin A levels increased from 422.0 to 471.0 mcg/L (p < 0.001), median vitamin D levels increased from 28.5 to 30.8 ng/mL (p = 0.003), and there were no significant changes in median vitamin E or INR. Vitamin A levels rose at a rate of 40.7 mcg/L/year (CI 11.3, 70.2) after ETI start.

conclusionsETI initiation is associated with increased median vitamin A and vitamin D levels, but no change in median vitamin E or INR levels. Ongoing monitoring of vitamin levels after ETI initiation is needed to screen for potential deficiencies and toxicities, particularly in light of case reports of hypervitaminosis A following ETI initiation.
