Pharmacokinetic variability of CFTR modulators from standard and alternative regimens.
Article in Pulmonary pharmacology & therapeutics, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Elexacaftor, tezacaftor, ivacaftor (ETI) is a CFTR modulator combination approved for use in ∼90 % of people with cystic fibrosis (pwCF) over 2 years old. While most pwCF tolerate this therapy well, some are intolerant to standard dosing, and others show little response. Clinical providers may adjust ETI dosing to combat these issues, but these adjustments are not well guided by pharmacokinetic evidence. Our post-approval study aimed to describe pharmacokinetic variability of ETI plasma concentrations in 15 participants who were administered a standard or reduced dose. ETI were quantified by LC-MS/MS in plasma samples taken prior to the morning dose. Results showed non-significant differences for each compound regardless of dosing regimen and after dose equivalence normalization. The majority of participants in both dosing groups had concentrations expected to elicit clinical response to ETI therapy. These findings indicate that dose reduction may be a viable strategy to maintain clinical benefit while managing intolerance.
