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 prognostic value of peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) expression profiles, when used in patients with chronic hypersensitivity pneumonitis (CHP), as an adjunct to traditional clinical assessment is unknown. RNA-seq analysis on PBMC from 37 patients with CHP at initial presentation determined that (1) 74 differentially expressed transcripts at a 10% false discovery rate distinguished those with (n=10) and without (n=27) disease progression, defined as absolute FVC and/or diffusing capacity of the lungs for carbon monoxide (DLCO) decline of ≥10% and increased fibrosis on chest CT images within 24 months, and (2) classification models based on gene expression and clinical factors strongly outperform models based solely on clinical factors (baseline FVC%, DLCO% and chest CT fibrosis).
