Detection of interstitial pneumonia with autoimmune features and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis are enhanced by involvement of matrix metalloproteinases levels and clinical diagnosis.
Article in Journal of clinical laboratory analysis, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundHigher detection of interstitial pneumonia with autoimmune features (IPAF), and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), has significant diagnostic and therapeutic implications. Some matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) have become reliable diagnostic biomarkers in IPAF and IPF in previous studies, yet relevant reliability remains to be recognized. MATERIALS AND
methodsIn this study, 36 ILDs patients, including 31 IPAF patients (Mean ± SD, 50.20 ± 5.10 years; 16 [51.6%] females) and five IPF patients (Mean ± SD, 61.20 ± 6.73 years; one [20.0%] females) were retrospectively enrolled. Serial serum samples were collected from patients with IPAF and IPF between January 2019 and December 2020. Notably, Serum MMPs levels were measured by U-PLEX Biomarker Group 1(Human) Multiplex Assays (MSD, USA).
resultsA combination of MMPs and combinatorial biomarkers was strongly associated with clinical subjects in this study (AUC, 0.597 for Stability vs. Improvement and 0.756 for Stability vs. Exacerbation). Importantly, the AUC of MMP-12 reaches 0.730 (p < 0.05, Stability AUC vs. Improvement AUC) while MMP-13 reaches 0.741 (p < 0.05, Stability AUC vs. Exacerbation AUC) showed better performance than other MMPs in two comparisons.
conclusionsClinical risk factors and MMPs are strongly associated with either stratification of the disease of progression of IPAF or in two IPAF and IPF independent cohorts. To our knowledge, this is the first to illustrate that MMP-12 and MMP-13 may be expected to become typical promising biomarkers in Improvement - IPAF and Exacerbation - IPAF, respectively.
