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

objectivesDM-associated rapidly progressive interstitial lung disease (DM-RP-ILD) has been the clinical conundrum. We assess the serum levels of tumor markers (TMs) in different types of ILD, and explore the diagnostic utility of TMs for DM/ADM-RP-ILD.

methodsThis was a retrospective cohort study, data including clinical and laboratory records were collected from the first affiliated hospital of Zhengzhou University from December 2015, to June 2020. Tumor markers (TMs) include CEA, CA153, CA724, CA125, and CA199. Spearman analysis, ROC, and Kaplan-Meier curve were used for data analysis.

resultsTotal 272 patients (149 DM and 123 ADM) were enrolled, 152 (55.88%) with ILD (116 with chronic ILD, 36 with RP-ILD) and 120 (44.12%) without ILD among them. The serum levels of CEA and ferritin were significantly higher in patients with RP-ILD than in the other two groups. Serum CA125, CA199, and CA153 levels in patients with RP-ILD were higher than those without ILD. CEA levels were associated with the ferritin, KL-6 and anti-MDA5 levels, and CEA concentration was significantly negatively correlated with DLco (P = 0.016, R

conclusionsTMs and ferritin were increased in DM/ADM-RP-ILD, and serum CEA and CA153 levels can evaluate disease severity of DM. And CEA and ferritin can be used as noninvasive diagnostic biomarkers for patients with DM-RP-ILD. Key Points • Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is a serious complication of DM, and is a leading cause of mortality, especially rapidly progressive ILD. • Tumor markers as a kind of noninvasive detection can reflect the disease severity of DM, and CEA and ferritin can be used to identify patients with RP-ILD.
