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

We have conducted a comprehensive study of the molecular basis of cystic fibrosis (CF) in 350 German CF patients. A screening approach based on single-strand conformation analysis and direct sequencing of genomic polymerase chain reaction products has allowed us to detect the molecular defects on 95.4% of the CF chromosomes within the coding region and splice sites of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene. The spectrum of sequence changes comprises 54 different mutations, including 17 missense mutations, 14 nonsense mutations, 11 frameshift mutations, 10 splice site variants and two amino acid deletions. Eleven of these mutations have not previously been described. Our results reflect the marked mutational heterogeneity of CF in a large sample of patients from a non-isolated population.
