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

The approach for the diagnosis and treatment of interstitial lung diseases (ILDs) has changed in recent years, mainly for the identification of new entities, such as interstitial lung abnormalities (ILAs) and progressive pulmonary fibrosis (PPF). Clinicians and radiologists are facing new challenges for the screening, diagnosis, prognosis, and follow-up of ILDs. The detection and classification of ILAs or the identification of fibrosis progression at high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) is difficult, with high inter-reader variability, particularly for non-expert radiologists. In the last few years, various software has been developed for ILD evaluation at HRCT, with excellent results, equal to or more reliable than humans. AI tools can classify ILDs, quantify the extent, analyze the features hidden from the human eye, predict prognosis, and evaluate the progression of the disease. More advanced tools can incorporate clinical and radiological data to obtain personalized prognosis, with the potential ability to steer treatment decisions. To step forward and implement in daily practice such tools, more collaboration is required to collect more homogeneous clinical and radiological data; furthermore, more robust, prospective trials, with the new AI-derived biomarkers compared with each other, are needed to demonstrate the real reliability of the computer-aided evaluation of ILDs.
