Association between biomarkers of tobacco smoke exposure and clinical efficacy of ivacaftor in the G551D observational trial (GOAL).

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
backgroundAcrolein, an aldehyde in smoke from tobacco products, inhibits CFTR function in vitro. Ivacaftor is an FDA-approved potentiator that improves mutant CFTR function. This human clinical study investigated the relationship between two urinary markers of tobacco smoke exposure - the acrolein metabolite 3-HPMA and the nicotine metabolite NNAL - and sweat chloride response to ivacaftor in the G551D Observational Trial (GOAL).
methods3-HPMA (low: <50th centile; moderate: 50-75th centile; high: >75th centile) and NNAL (detectable/undetectable) in GOAL samples was quantified with LC-MS/MS. Self-report of tobacco smoke exposure (Y/N) served as a subjective measure. Change in sweat chloride from pre- to 6 months post-ivacaftor treatment (ΔSC) was the primary CFTR-dependent readout.
resultsThe sample included 151 individuals, mean age 20.7 (SD 11.4) years, range 6-59 years. Smoke exposure prevalence was 15 % per self-reports but 27 % based on detectable NNAL. 3-HPMA was increased in those reporting tobacco smoke exposure (607 vs 354 ng/ml, p = 0.008), with a higher proportion of smoke-exposed in the high- vs low-acrolein group (31 % vs 9 %, p=0.040). Compared to low-acrolein counterparts, high-acrolein participants experienced less decrease in sweat chloride (-35.2 vs -48.2 mmol/L; p = 0.020) and had higher sweat chloride values (50.6 vs 37.6 mmol/L; p = 0.020) 6 months post-ivacaftor. The odds of ivacaftor-mediated potentiation to near normative CFTR function (defined as SC
conclusionsIncreased urinary 3-HPMA, an acrolein metabolite of tobacco smoke, is associated with a diminished sweat chloride response to ivacaftor potentiation of CFTR function.
