Prevalence of overweight and obesity in a South Texas cystic fibrosis center.
Article in Journal of clinical & translational endocrinology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: Overweight and obesity rates have increased drastically among people with cystic fibrosis (CF), in part due to advancements in care, including highly effective modulator therapies (HEMT). Ethnic differences in the prevalence of overweight/obesity in CF are unknown. Methods: To determine the prevalence of overweight/obesity by ethnicity, we performed a cross-sectional retrospective chart review of patients ≥ 2yrs old with CF at the University of Texas Health San Antonio CF Center. Logistic regression stratified by age group (children: 2-17 yr, adults: ≥18 yr) was used to evaluate factors associated with overweight/obesity among Hispanics and non-Hispanic whites after adjustment for confounders. Results: One hundred seventy-two patients (68 children/104 adults, 49% Hispanic, 47% female) were assessed. Overweight/obesity was prevalent in 35% of children and 42% of adults. Multivariable analysis revealed that the odds of overweight/obesity were lower in children (p = 0.032) and adults (p = 0.007) who used supplemental feeds, but higher among adults using HEMT (p = 0.037) and adults with higher FEV1pp (p = 0.016). Ethnic differences in overweight/obesity prevalence were not apparent in either age group. Conclusion: The odds of overweight/obesity were lower among children and adults using supplemental feeds, whereas HEMT use and having higher lung function were associated with increased odds among adults. Multi-center studies performed in diverse CF populations are essential to understand factors associated with overweight/obesity.
