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

introductionThe impact of ETI therapy on pulmonary function and nutritional status has been widely studied; the literature on the possible outcomes on glycemic control and insulin requirement in patients affected by CFRD is controversial.

aimThe main objective of our study was to evaluate HbA1c levels in patients with cystic fibrosis-related diabetes (CFRD) after one year of therapy with elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor (ETI). The secondary objective was to study the changes in the total daily insulin dose (TDD), pulmonary function and metabolism in this population. MATERIALS AND

methodsA retrospective single-center observational study was conducted at the Regional Cystic Fibrosis Centre and Diabetology Centre of IRCCS Istituto Giannina Gaslini. The observation period was divided into four different time points: initiation (T0), 3 months (T

resultsTwenty-eight patients with CFRD undergoing insulin therapy were included. TDD (IU) significantly decreased at T

conclusionWe demonstrated both improvement in glycemic control (by means of HbA1c) and insulin requirement in insulin-dependent CFRD patients after one year of ETI treatment.
