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

backgroundIdiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is chronic fibrosing pneumonia with an unpredictable natural disease history. Functional respiratory imaging (FRI) has potential to better characterize this disease. The aim of this study was to identify FRI parameters, which predict FVC decline in patients with IPF.

methodsAn IPF-cohort (treated with pamrevlumab for 48 weeks) was retrospectively studied using FRI. Serial CT's were compared from 66 subjects. Post-hoc analysis was performed using FRI, FVC and mixed effects models.

resultsLung volumes, determined by FRI, correlated with FVC (lower lung volumes with lower FVC) (R

conclusionThis study indicates that FRI is a superior tool than FVC in capturing of early and clinically relevant, disease progression in a regional manner.
