Predicting Individualized Lung Disease Progression in Treatment-Naive Patients With Lymphangioleiomyomatosis.
Article in Chest, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundLung function decline varies significantly in patients with lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM), impeding individualized clinical decision-making. RESEARCH QUESTION: Can we aid individualized decision-making in LAM by developing a dynamic prediction model that can estimate the probability of clinically relevant FEV STUDY DESIGN AND
methodsPatients observed in the US National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) Lymphangioleiomyomatosis Registry were included. Using routinely available variables such as age at diagnosis, menopausal status, and baseline lung function (FEV
resultsAnalysis of the NHLBI Lymphangioleiomyomatosis Registry and UK Lymphangioleiomyomatosis Natural History cohorts consisted of 216 and 185 individuals, respectively. We derived a joint model that accurately estimated the risk of future lung function decline and 5-year probabilities of transplant-free survival in patients with LAM not taking sirolimus (area under the receiver operating characteristic curve [AUC], approximately 0.80). The prediction model provided estimates of forecasted FEV
interpretationLongitudinal modeling of routine clinical data can allow individualized LAM prognostication and assist in decision-making regarding the timing of treatment initiation.
