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

In the Phase III INPULSIS(®) trials, 52 weeks' treatment with nintedanib reduced decline in forced vital capacity (FVC) versus placebo in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). Patients who completed the INPULSIS(®) trials could receive nintedanib in an open-label extension trial (INPULSIS(®)-ON). Patients with FVC <50 % predicted were excluded from INPULSIS(®), but could participate in INPULSIS(®)-ON. In patients with baseline FVC ≤50 % and >50 % predicted at the start of INPULSIS(®)-ON, the absolute mean change in FVC from baseline to week 48 of INPULSIS(®)-ON was -62.3 and -87.9 mL, respectively (n = 24 and n = 558, respectively). No new safety signals were identified in INPULSIS(®)-ON compared with INPULSIS(®). The decline in FVC in INPULSIS(®)-ON in both subgroups by baseline FVC % predicted was similar to that in INPULSIS(®), suggesting that nintedanib may have a similar effect on disease progression in patients with advanced disease as in less advanced disease.
