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) has led to improved lung function, life expectancy, and body mass index for people with Cystic Fibrosis (CF). The aim of this systematic review was to evaluate the impact that ETI has had on body composition in people with CF. A systematic review was performed using MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials. Quality assessment using the Joanna Briggs Institute critical appraisal tools were performed. Results were summarised narratively. Five observational cohort studies involving a total of 185 participants were reviewed. Three studies showed an increase in fat mass (7.0-8.6 kg, 13.2-14.3 kg, and 13.4-15.5 kg). Two studies reported an increase in fat-free mass (49.4-50.1 kg, 52.5-55 kg), while one reported a decrease (50.5-48.9 kg). Two studies found an increase in fat mass index (4.1-6.3 kgm/
