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

The natural history of interstitial lung disease (ILD) in patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc) is highly variable. Historical observational studies have demonstrated that the greatest decline in lung function in SSc occurs early in the course of the disease; however, not all patients experience a decline in lung function even in the absence of treatment. Furthermore, among patients who do experience a decline in lung function, the rate of decline can be either rapid or slow. The most common clinical phenotypes of SSc-ILD therefore: (i) Rapid Progressors, (ii) Gradual Progressors, (iii) Stabilizers and (iv) Improvers. This review summarizes the features of SSc-ILD patients who are more likely to experience rapid progression of ILD, as well as those who are more likely
