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

Background: Emerging data reveal higher-than-expected prevalence of cystic fibrosis (CF) among non-European populations worldwide including in the Indian subcontinent. Systematic analyses of the Methods: A retrospective study was conducted at Christian Medical College, Vellore, India (single tertiary referral hospital) from September 2010 to August 2022, involving 120 people with CF from (i) four south Indian states (Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Kerala, Karnataka), (ii) in and nearby regions of West Bengal, India and (iii) Bangladesh. Comprehensive Findings: In 120 people with CF, 55 CFTR variants were identified, including six novel variants. F508del was the predominant mutation, yet with a lower allele frequency than reported among European populations (27% versus 70%). Phenotypic correlations suggested high mutational pathogenicity causing severe multi-organ morbidity, and death in 27%. Milder variants associated with pancreatic sufficiency were also evident in 23% of people with CF. Statistically significant regional variances were noted in genotype frequency, and clinical phenotype among people with CF from the two regions. Hotspot exons and introns that could potentially help create targeted mutation panels were identified. Interpretation: The identification of 55 different Funding: Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, USA (towards the CF-India Demonstration Project) and Christian Medical College, Vellore, India.
