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

Background: Biomarkers that change in response to nintedanib in subjects with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) would be valuable. We investigated the effects of nintedanib on circulating biomarkers in subjects with IPF in the INMARK trial. Methods: Subjects with IPF were randomised 1:2 to receive nintedanib 150 mg twice daily or placebo for 12 weeks, after which all patients received open-label nintedanib for 40 weeks. Fold changes in adjusted mean levels of circulating biomarkers were analysed using a linear mixed model for repeated measures. Results: 346 subjects were treated (116 randomised to nintedanib, 230 to placebo). Surfactant protein D (SP-D) and cancer antigen 125 (CA-125), markers of epithelial injury, decreased in subjects treated with nintedanib Conclusions: Effects of nintedanib on circulating markers of epithelial dysfunction and collagen degradation, most notably CA-125, were observed in patients with IPF.
