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

objectiveThe management of cystic fibrosis (CF) requires intensive, chronic medication regimens that can have a high treatment burden and cost. De-escalation of chronic medications for patients with CF aged 12 years and older on elexacaftor-tezacaftor-ivacaftor (ETI) has been evaluated; however, data are lacking for patients aged 6 to 11 years.

methodsThis single-center, retrospective study evaluated the non-inferiority of chronic medication de-escalation following an institutional algorithm in children 6 to 11 years with CF by comparing the difference in percent predicted FEV

resultsForty-one patients were included. The sample's baseline mean ppFEV

conclusionsFollowing the initiation of an institutional medication de-escalation algorithm, the number of chronic medications in children aged 6 to 11 years with CF on ETI was decreased. However, this study was unable to confirm the non-inferiority of chronic medication de-escalation in this younger population with CF.
