Assessing pulmonary vascular remodeling in connective tissue disease-associated interstitial lung disease: a CT-based quantitative analysis.
Article in Quantitative imaging in medicine and surgery, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
Background: It has recently become possible to quantitatively assess changes in the pulmonary arteries and veins on chest computed tomography (CT) images using automated software tools. The aim of this study was to assess the morphological characteristics of CT-based pulmonary arteries and veins to investigate pulmonary vascular remodeling in connective tissue disease-associated interstitial lung disease (CTD-ILD). Methods: This retrospective study recruited 168 CTD-ILD patients (80 males; mean age, 62±10 years) who underwent standard of care pulmonary function testing (PFT) and CT evaluations. Gender-Age-Physiology (GAP) 1-3 staging was performed on the basis of gender, age, and PFT results. Arterial and venous analyses (volumes, densities, fractions, and tortuosity) were performed using artificial intelligence. Results: Among the 168 subjects with GAP stage 1 (n=106), stage 2 (n=50), and stage 3 (n=12) who were enrolled, differences in arterial and venous BV5 [volume of pulmonary blood vessels with the cross-sectional area (CSA) less than 5 mm Conclusions: Patients with CTD-ILD exhibit pulmonary vascular remodeling, which is related to the disease's progress.
