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: CFTR modulator therapies have positive clinical outcomes, yet chronic inflammation and bacterial infections persist in people with CF (pwCF). How elexacaftor-tezacaftor-ivacaftor (ETI) fails to improve innate immune signaling responsible for bacterial clearance and inflammation resolution remains unknown. Methods: We used an unbiased proteomics approach to measure the effect of ETI on inflammatory proteins. Plasma from 20 pediatric pwCF and 20 non-CF (NCF) was collected during routine examination and 3 months after ETI initiation. Protein screening was performed with an inflammation panel (Target 96, Olink Results: There were significantly fewer pulmonary exacerbations after ETI initiation, along with sustained improvement in lung function and reduced bacterial colonization. Unpaired analysis of CF pre-ETI and NCF resulted in 34 significantly different proteins. Of these, CCL20, MMP-10, EN-RAGE, and AXIN1 had a log Conclusion: This study showed that ETI in a pediatric cohort had a modest effect on several inflammatory proteins with potential as biomarkers. Pathways significantly impacted by ETI can be further studied for future therapies to combat persistent inflammation and dysregulated immunity.
