The Effectiveness of Nintedanib in Patients with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis, Familial Pulmonary Fibrosis and Progressive Fibrosing Interstitial Lung Diseases: A Real-World Study.
Article in Biomedicines, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 19 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
Background: Nintedanib is an oral multitarget tyrosine kinase inhibitor approved for the treatment of patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). Recent evidence demonstrated that nintedanib reduced functional disease progression also in subjects with non-IPF progressive fibrosing interstitial lung disease (PF-ILD). However, real-life data on the effectiveness of nintedanib in PF-ILD and familial pulmonary fibrosis (FPF) are lacking. Methods: this retrospective monocentric study enrolled 197 patients affected with IPF, PF-ILD and FPF treated with nintedanib at the Referral Centre of Siena from 2014 to 2021. Pulmonary functional tests and survival data were collected throughout the observation period for the evaluation of mortality and disease progression outcomes. Results: nintedanib treatment significantly reduced the FVC decline rate in IPF and PF-ILD subgroups, but not in FPF subjects. No significant differences were observed among the subgroups in terms of survival, which appeared to be influenced by gender and impaired lung function (FVC < 70% of predicted value). Concerning disease progression rate, a diagnosis of FPF is associated with more pronounced FVC decline despite nintedanib treatment. Conclusions: our research studies the effectiveness and safety of nintedanib in reducing functional disease progression of IPF and PF-ILD. FPF appeared to be less responsive to nintedanib, even though no differences were observed in terms of survival.
