Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis in East Asian.
Review in Intractable & rare diseases research, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a rare lung disease with a prognosis that can be worse than that of many cancers. Recent studies have improved our understanding of IPF and new treatment options have become available. However, most studies are conducted predominantly in Western countries while few are conducted in East Asian countries. The distribution, effectiveness of treatment, and prognosis for IPF differ among Westerners and East Asians, but whether the heterogeneity of IPF in East Asians is the result of ethnic differences and geographic variability is unclear. This study highlights the current prevalence of IPF and its characteristics in the East Asian population and it provides valuable information to understand the current clinical status of patients with IPF in light of recent advances in its diagnosis and treatment.
