Nailfold capillaroscopy findings of interstitial pneumonia with autoimmune features.
Article in The Korean journal of internal medicine, 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
BACKGROUND/
aimsWe evaluated nailfold capillaroscopy (NFC) of interstitial pneumonia with autoimmune features (IPAF) and compared it with that of patients with connective tissue disease-interstitial lung disease (CTD-ILD) and idiopathic interstitial pneumonia (IIP).
methodsPatients with newly diagnosed as ILD were evaluated using NFC. Baseline demographic, clinical, serological, and high-resolution CT findings were collected. NFC was semi-quantitatively scored with six domains ranging from 0 to 18. In addition, the overall patterns (scleroderma/non-scleroderma patterns) were determined.
resultsA total of 81 patients (31 with CTD-ILD, 18 with IPAF, and 32 with IIP) were included. The non-specific interstitial pneumonia pattern was the most common ILD pattern in the CTD-ILD and IPAF groups, whereas the usual interstitial pneumonia pattern was the most common in the IIP group. The semi-quantitative score of the CTD-ILD group was higher than that of the IPAF or IIP groups (5.8 vs 4.2 vs 3.0, p < 0.001, respectively). Giant capillaries and haemorrhages were more frequently present in the CTD-ILD and IPAF groups than in the IIP group. A scleroderma pattern was present in 27.8% of the IPAF group, whereas none of the IIP patients showed a scleroderma pattern.
conclusionNFC findings may be useful in classifying patients with ILD into CTD-ILD/IPAF/IIP.
