Several specific high-resolution computed tomography patterns correlate with survival in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.

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.
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
backgroundEvidence of honeycombing in high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) is a recognized risk factor for shortened survival in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), but few studies have evaluated the feasibility of exploiting other specific patterns for predicting survival. The aim of this study was to examine the extent of specific HRCT patterns in IPF and determine whether they correlate with clinical features, pulmonary function tests (PFT), and survival.
methodsBoth the presence and extent of specific HRCT patterns, such as traction bronchiectasis, honeycombing, architectural distortion, reticulation, emphysema, and ground glass opacity, in 129 HRCT examinations were scored semi-quantitatively in three zones of each lung. HRCT examinations were also re-classified according to the 2011 and 2018 international statements. Correlations were calculated between the scores of specific HRCT patterns, clinical features, PFT, and patient survival.
resultsThe extent of traction bronchiectasis was found to be an independent risk factor of shortened survival (HR 1.227, P=0.001). Patients with a possible usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP) pattern had a better median survival than the patients with a definite UIP pattern (61
conclusionsWe conclude that several specific HRCT patterns displayed a correlation with shortened survival in IPF; these may help in evaluating the risk of death in IPF patients.
