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: Elexacaftor-tezacaftor-ivacaftor (ETI) is associated with increased FEV Research Question: What are the long-term effects of ETI on people with cystic fibrosis and pre-existing advanced lung disease on lung function, BMI, and pulmonary exacerbation rates? Study Design and Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study of adult patients with FEV Results: A total of 57 of 64 people with ACFLD showed improved lung function with a mean change in % predicted FEV Interpretation: People with ACFLD experienced a significant increase in lung function at 24 months on ETI, but less than those with higher baseline lung function compared with prior studies. They also had an increase in BMI and a decline in the rate of annual pulmonary exacerbations.
