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

Interstitial lung diseases (ILD) consist of a complex group of hundreds of non-neoplastic pulmonary diseases with divergent clinical presentation, morphology and progression tendency. This great number of clinical entities contrasts with a limited number of injury patterns. By definition, an adequate classification requires a synopsis of the clinical, radiological and morphological findings. The ATS/ERS (American Thoracic Society/ European Respiratory Society) guidelines recommend an open lung biopsy if high-resolution computed tomography does not provide conclusive results. Due to the focal nature and overlapping features of injury patterns, microscopic categorization is not always possible. In order to broaden the diagnostic criteria by using molecular patterns the Lung Research Working Group of the Institute of Pathology of Hannover Medical School, Europe's leading transplant center, is working up fresh explanted human lungs in a standardized manner. These fresh specimens are used for translational research by means of functional, morphological and molecular techniques in order to identify disease-specific regulatory processes and to make them usable diagnostically and therapeutically.
