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

The introduction of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator modulators (CFTRms) in the treatment of cystic fibrosis (CF) has significantly improved both the life expectancy and quality of life for patients affected by the disease. While this new therapy shows promising results in CF patients, data about the use of CFTRms during pregnancy in women who are carriers with fetuses affected by CF are limited. We present a new case report and literature review of fetal CF treated by the maternal assumption of CFTRms to understand the safety and the effectiveness of the treatment in resolving fetal and neonatal CF clinical manifestations (meconium ileus, postnatal exocrine pancreatic insufficiency, and postnatal intestinal surgery). Our report represents the fifth unsuccessful case of fetal CF treated in utero by CFTRms and highlights the potential key elements necessary for a successful treatment.
