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

Patients with interstitial lung disease (ILD), especially those with pulmonary fibrosis, are at increased risk of developing lung cancer. Management of lung cancer in patients with ILD is particularly challenging. Diagnosis can be complicated by difficulty differentiating lung nodules from areas of focal fibrosis, and percutaneous biopsy approaches confer an increased risk of complications in those with pulmonary fibrosis. Lung cancer treatment in these patients pose several specific considerations. The degree of lung function impairment may preclude lobectomy or surgical resection of any type. Surgical resection can trigger an acute exacerbation of the underlying ILD. The presence of ILD confers an increased risk of pneumonitis with radiotherapy, and many of the systemic therapies also carry an increased risk of pneumonitis in this population. The safety of immunotherapy in the setting of ILD remains to be fully elucidated and concerns remain as to triggering pneumonitis. The purpose of this review is to summarize the evidence regarding consideration for tissue diagnosis, chemotherapy and immunotherapy, radiotherapy, and surgery, in this patient population and discuss emerging areas of research. We also propose a multidisciplinary approach and practical considerations for monitoring for ILD progression during lung cancer treatment.
