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 gene causing cystic fibrosis (CF) encodes the CF transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR), a cAMP-regulated chloride channel. Mutations in this gene result in reduced transepithelial chloride permeability across tissues affected in CF. Consequently, restoring chloride permeability to these tissues may prove therapeutic. Here we report that a combination of forskolin, an adenylate cyclase activator, and milrinone, an inhibitor of class III phosphodiesterases, increases the magnitude of the potential difference across nasal epithelium of mice homozygous for the most common CF mutation, delta F508, while neither drug alone has a significant effect on potential difference. Transgenic mice lacking CFTR do not respond to the milrinone/forskolin combination, indicating that the effect in delta F508 mice requires CFTR. These results suggest that, by pharmacological means, at least partial CFTR-mediated electrolyte transport can be restored in vivo to CF tissues expressing delta F508.
