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 and Aims: Up to 40% of patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) develop CF-related liver disease (CFrLD), which can progress to the point of requiring liver transplantation (LT). Advances in CF transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) modulator therapies, especially triple therapy modulators, have significantly improved pulmonary outcomes, but their impact on LT for CFrLD remains unclear. Methods: Using data from the Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients in 2000-2023, we analyzed trends in LT waitlisting for CFrLD pre- and post-U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval of CFTR modulators: ivacaftor (January 31, 2012; single therapy), ivacaftor-lumacaftor (July 2, 2015; dual therapy), and ivacaftor-tezacaftor-elexacaftor (October 21, 2019; triple therapy). We compared the waitlist characteristics and post-LT outcomes of pre- and post-FDA approval eras. Results: Of 258,090 patients waitlisted for LT, 551 (0.2%) had CFrLD. The proportion of CFrLD patients on the LT waitlist decreased after FDA approval of triple CFTR modulators (0.23% to 0.14%; Conclusion: These findings suggest that CFTR modulators may mitigate CFrLD complications and delay the need for waitlisting as physicians await the patient's response to therapy and reassess the need for LT.
