Spectrum of high-resolution computed tomography pattern in lungs in patients with connective tissue disorders.
Article in Annals of African medicine. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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: Connective tissue disease associated with interstitial lung disease, or CT-ILD, is a lung condition that affects a large number of patients with a connective tissue disease. Objective: Our aim in this study is to correlation between images of high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) of different connective tissue diseases associated interstitial lung diseases (CTD-ILDs). Methods: We shall be aiming to investigate the feasibility of HRCT imaging and thereby avoid lung biopsy in such patients. Results: Rheumatoid arthritis predominantly presented with usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP) (47.8%), followed by nonspecific interstitial pneumonia (NSIP) (30.4%). Mixed connective tissue disorder predominantly presented with NSIP and UIP (42.8%), followed by organizing pneumonia (OP) (14.2%). Systemic lupus erythematosus predominantly presented with UIP (38.8%), followed by NSIP (27.7%). Sjogren's syndrome predominantly presented with lymphocytic interstitial pneumonia (40%), followed by UIP (26.6%). Scleroderma predominantly presented with UIP (45.4%), followed by NSIP (36.4%). Sarcoidosis predominantly presented with UIP (75%), followed by NSIP (25%). Dermatomyositis predominantly presented with NSIP (50%), followed by UIP and OP each (25%). Conclusion: Both clinicians and radiologists should be aware of the expected evolution of HRCT changes in a variety of CT-ILDs.
