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 chronic interstitial lung disease of unknown cause that occurs sporadically, but it can also occur in families and so named as Familial Pulmonary Fibrosis (FPF). Some forms of FPF overlaps IPF features, namely the radiological and histological pattern of usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP). Genetic and environmental factors commonly play an important role in the pathogenesis of FPF and the most commonly identified mutations involve the telomerase complex. Here, we report a rare case of FPF in a male at the age of 44, in whom genetic testing showed heterozygous variants for the telomerase reverse transcriptase gene (
