Forced oscillometry technique in the assessment of adults with cystic fibrosis treated for a pulmonary exacerbation, a pilot feasibility study.

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
IntroductionEffective management of pulmonary exacerbations (PEx) in cystic fibrosis (CF) is essential to minimise lung damage and reduce morbidity and mortality. Spirometry, the standard tool for lung function assessment in adult people with CF (pwCF), has limitations. Forced Oscillometry Technique (FOT) is an effort-independent method that assesses small airways disease and has been validated in other respiratory conditions. This study evaluated the feasibility and acceptability of implementing FOT during treatment for PEx in adult pwCF.MethodsTwelve adult pwCF underwent FOT and spirometry at the start and end of PEx treatment, and at clinically convenient intervals. FOT was also measured before and after physiotherapy-directed airway clearance. A questionnaire assessed patient satisfaction with FOT.ResultsAll patients had spirometry below baseline at PEx onset and small airways dysfunction on FOT. Treatment was associated with improvements in median FEV1pp (5.1%,
