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

Progressive fibrosing interstitial lung diseases (PF-ILD) consist of a diverse group of interstitial lung diseases (ILD) characterized by a similar clinical phenotype of accelerated respiratory failure, frequent disease exacerbation and earlier mortality. Regardless of underlying disease process, PF-ILD progresses through similar mechanisms of self-sustained dysregulated cell repair, fibroblast proliferation and alveolar dysfunction that can be therapeutically targeted. Antifibrotic therapy with nintedanib or pirfenidone slow lung function decline and are the backbone of treatment for IPF with an expanded indication of PF-ILD for nintedanib. Immunosuppression is utilized for some subtypes of PF-ILD, including connective tissue disease ILD and hypersensitivity pneumonitis. Inhaled treprostinil is a novel therapy that improves exercise tolerance in individuals with PF-ILD and concomitant World Health Organization (WHO) group 3 pulmonary hypertension. Lung transplantation is the only curative therapy and can be considered in an appropriate and interested patient. Supportive care, oxygen therapy when appropriate, and treatment of comorbid conditions are important aspects of PF-ILD management. This review summarizes the current data and recommendations for management of PF-ILD.
