Care programs and their components for patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis: a systematic review.
Synthesis in Respiratory research, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
backgroundThe multidimensional and complex care needs of patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) call for appropriate care models. This systematic review aimed to identify care models or components thereof that have been developed for patients with IPF in the outpatient clinical care, to describe their characteristics from the perspective of chronic integrated care and to describe their outcomes.
methodsA systematic review was conducted using state-of-the-art methodology with searches in PubMed/Medline, Embase, CINAHL and Web Of Science. Researchers independently selected studies and collected data, which were described according to the Chronic Care Model (CCM).
resultsEighteen articles were included describing 13 new care models or components. The most commonly described CCM elements were 'delivery system design' (77%) and 'self-management support' (69%), with emphasis on team-based and multidisciplinary care provision and education. The most frequently described outcome was health-related quality of life.
conclusionsGiven the high need for integrated care and the scarcity and heterogeneity of data, developing, evaluating and implementing new models of care for patients with IPF and the comprehensive reporting of these endeavours should be a priority for research and clinical care.
