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

Interstitial lung disease is a common manifestation of systemic sclerosis. Systemic sclerosis-associated interstitial lung disease is characterized by progressive pulmonary fibrosis and a reduction in pulmonary function. Effective treatments for systemic sclerosis-associated interstitial lung disease are lacking. In addition to clinical similarities, systemic sclerosis-associated interstitial lung disease shows similarities to idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis in the pathophysiology of the underlying fibrotic processes. Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and systemic sclerosis-associated interstitial lung disease culminate in a self-sustaining pathway of pulmonary fibrosis in which fibroblasts are activated, myofibroblasts accumulate, and the excessive extracellular matrix is deposited. Nintedanib is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor that has been approved for the treatment of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. In patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, nintedanib slows disease progression by decreasing the rate of lung function decline. In this review, we summarize the antifibrotic, anti-inflammatory, and attenuated vascular remodeling effects of nintedanib demonstrated in in vitro studies and in animal models of aspects of systemic sclerosis. Nintedanib interferes at multiple critical steps in the pathobiology of systemic sclerosis-associated interstitial lung disease, providing a convincing rationale for its investigation as a potential therapy. Finally, we summarize the design of the randomized placebo-controlled SENSCIS
