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 a chronic, progressive fibrotic lung disease characterized by worsening dyspnea and lung function and has a median survival of 2-3 years. Forced vital capacity (FVC) is the primary endpoint used most commonly in IPF clinical trials as it is the best surrogate for mortality. This study assessed quantitative scores from high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) developed by machine learning as a secondary efficacy endpoint in a 26-week phase II study of BMS-986020 - an LPA

methodsHRCT scans from 96% (137/142) of randomized subjects were utilized. Quantitative lung fibrosis (QLF) scores were calculated from the HRCT images. QLF improvement was defined as ⩾2% reduction in QLF score from baseline to week 26.

resultsIn the placebo arm, 5% of patients demonstrated an improvement in QLF score at week 26 compared with 15% and 27% of patients in the BMS-986020 600 mg once daily (QD) and twice daily (BID) arms, respectively [

conclusionsThis study demonstrated the utility of quantitative HRCT as an efficacy endpoint for IPF in a double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial setting.
