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

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a specific form of chronic interstitial pneumonia limited to the lung and characterized by a fibroproliferative response with only minor signs of inflammation, which almost always causes rapid fibrotic destruction of the lung. In this study, we investigated genomic instability in IPF, using microsatellite DNA analysis, aiming to detect any specific genetic alterations for this disease. We used 40 highly polymorphic microsatellite DNA markers, in multiplex PCR assays, to examine 52 sputum specimens from IPF patients versus correspondent venous blood. Loss of heterozygosity (LOH) was found in 20 (38.5%) patients in at least one locus. These alterations were found on markers previously associated with lung cancer located on 1p34.3, 3p21.32-p21.1, 5q32-q33.1, 9p21 and 17p13.1 where MYCL1, FHIT, SPARC, p16(Ink4) and TP53 genes have been mapped respectively. These data provide new insights into IPF pathogenesis and a new perspective for its correlation with lung cancer.
