Measurement Variability of Same-Day CT Quantification of Interstitial Lung Disease: A Multicenter Prospective Study.
Article in Radiology. Cardiothoracic imaging, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Purpose To investigate quantitative CT (QCT) measurement variability in interstitial lung disease (ILD) on the basis of two same-day CT scans. Materials and Methods Participants with ILD were enrolled in this multicenter prospective study between March and October 2022. Participants underwent two same-day CT scans at an interval of a few minutes. Deep learning-based texture analysis software was used to segment ILD features. Fibrosis extent was defined as the sum of reticular opacity and honeycombing cysts. Measurement variability between scans was assessed with Bland-Altman analyses for absolute and relative differences with 95% limits of agreement (LOA). The contribution of fibrosis extent to variability was analyzed using a multivariable linear mixed-effects model while adjusting for lung volume. Eight readers assessed ILD fibrosis stability with and without QCT information for 30 randomly selected samples. Results Sixty-five participants were enrolled in this study (mean age, 68.7 years ± 10 [SD]; 47 [72%] men, 18 [28%] women). Between two same-day CT scans, the 95% LOA for the mean absolute and relative differences of quantitative fibrosis extent were -0.9% to 1.0% and -14.8% to 16.1%, respectively. However, these variabilities increased to 95% LOA of -11.3% to 3.9% and -123.1% to 18.4% between CT scans with different reconstruction parameters. Multivariable analysis showed that absolute differences were not associated with the baseline extent of fibrosis (
