Fatty acid abnormalities in cystic fibrosis-the missing link for a cure?
Review in iScience, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
The care for cystic fibrosis (CF) has dramatically changed with the development of modulators, correctors, and potentiators of the CFTR molecule, which lead to improved clinical status of most people with CF (pwCF). The modulators influence phospholipids and ceramides, but not linoleic acid (LA) deficiency, associated with more severe phenotypes of CF. The LA deficiency is associated with upregulation of its transfer to arachidonic acid (AA). The AA release from membranes is increased and associated with increase of pro-inflammatory prostanoids and the characteristic inflammation is present before birth and bacterial infections. Docosahexaenoic acid is often decreased, especially in associated liver disease Some endogenously synthesized fatty acids are increased. Cholesterol and ceramide metabolisms are disturbed. The lipid abnormalities are present at birth, and before feeding in transgenic pigs and ferrets. This review focus on the lipid abnormalities and their associations to clinical symptoms in CF, based on clinical studies and experimental research.
