＜Editors' Choice＞ Comparison of clinical features between patients with acute exacerbation of idiopathic interstitial pneumonia and collagen vascular disease-associated interstitial pneumonia.

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
Acute exacerbation (AE) of interstitial pneumonia (IP) shows poor prognosis, due to the typical histological pattern of diffuse alveolar damage superimposed upon lung fibrosis. The previous reports comparing clinical features between AE of idiopathic interstitial pneumonias (IIPs) and those of IPs with known etiology are limited. We retrospectively compared clinical parameters including age, sex, Charlson Comorbidity Index score (CCIS), blood biomarkers at diagnosis of AE, treatment, and 3-month mortality between patients with AE of IIPs and collagen vascular disease-associated interstitial pneumonia (CVD-IP). We assessed 85 patients, comprising 66 patients with AE of IIPs (78%) and 19 patients with AE of CVD-IP (22%). The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression selected CCIS (hazard ratio, 1.281; 95% confidence interval, 1.055-1.556; P = 0.012) and log serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) (hazard ratio, 6.267; 95% confidence interval, 2.172-18.085; P < 0.001) as significant predictors of 3-month mortality among these patients. Also, the adjusted survival curves using sex, CCIS, and serum LDH showed no significant differences between these two groups. In conclusion, among AE patients, CCIS and serum LDH level may be more important prognostic factors for 3-month mortality rather than two classification of IP subtypes: IIPs and CVD-IP.
