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

Objective: Patients with Cystic Fibrosis related diabetes [CFRD] are treated with insulin and high calorie diets to maintain body mass. The combined CFTR modulator elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor [ETI] decreases pulmonary exacerbations and improves nutritional status. We reviewed the effects of ETI on BMI, HbA1c and diabetes regimen in patients with CFRD over a period of three years. Methods: Data of previously CFTR-modulator-naïve patients with CFRD and pancreatic insufficiency on ETI therapy were retrieved from an electronic health record database. Patients were followed for a mean duration of 2.7 ± 0.8 years after ETI initiation. Data pertaining to weight, BMI, HbA1c and diabetes regimen were collected at 6 months, 12 months, 2 years and at 3 years post-ETI initiation. Patients were then dichotomized based on their baseline BMI into a low BMI group and an "at target" BMI group. The effects of ETI on changes in weight, BMI, A1c and diabetes regimen were compared in both groups over a period of three years. Results: Twenty-seven patients with CFRD (15 men/12 women), age 30.6 ± 11.5 (SD) years, BMI 22.4 ± 4.0 kg/m Conclusion: BMI increased after ETI therapy in CFRD patients with low BMI, but not in those with at target BMI. The use of non-insulin therapies is increasing in CFRD and should be evaluated in future studies.
