1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

topic importanceInterstitial lung diseases (ILDs) represent a broad group of heterogeneous parenchymal lung diseases. Some ILDs progress, causing architectural distortion and pulmonary fibrosis, and thus are called fibrotic ILDs. Recent studies have shown a beneficial effect of antifibrotic therapy in fibrotic ILDs other than idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) that manifest progressive pulmonary fibrosis (PPF). However, it remains challenging to predict which patients with fibrotic ILDs will demonstrate PPF. Precision medicine approaches could identify patients at risk for progression and guide treatment in patients with IPF or PPF. REVIEW

findingsMultiple biomarkers able to highlight disease susceptibility risk, to provide an accurate diagnosis, and to prognosticate or assess treatment response have been identified. Advances in precision medicine led to the identification of endotypes that could discriminate patients with different fibrotic ILDs or patients with different disease courses. Importantly, recent studies have shown that particular compounds were efficacious only in particular endotypes. The aforementioned findings are promising. However, implementation in clinical practice remains an unmet need. SUMMARY: Substantial progress has been observed in the context of precision medicine approaches in fibrotic ILDs in recent years. Nonetheless, infrastructure, financial, regulatory, and ethical challenges remain before precision medicine can be implemented in clinical practice. Overcoming such barriers and moving from a one-size-fits-all approach to patient-centered care could improve patient quality of life and survival substantially.
