Greater Large Conducting Airway Luminal Area in Patients with Interstitial Lung Disease.
Article in medRxiv : the preprint server for health sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Interstitial lung disease (ILD) encompasses multiple pulmonary disorders characterized by damaged pulmonary tissue caused by a sequence of inflammation and fibrosis. While much is known about ILD-associated changes within the parenchyma and the pathophysiological processes underpinning the disruption of pulmonary dynamics and gas exchange, less is known about ILD-associated changes of luminal area within the large conducting airways. We aimed to investigate whether luminal area of the large conducting airways is different between patients with ILD and healthy controls. In a retrospective case-control study, luminal areas of seven large conducting airways were measured using three-dimensional reconstructions of computed tomography imaging. Patients with ILD (N=82; 54% female) were compared to control subjects matched for age, sex, and height. Univariate ANOVA tests or Kruskal-Wallis tests were used to analyze group and sex differences. Patients with ILD had greater large conducting airway luminal areas than control subjects for measured large conducting airways, including the trachea (296±73 vs. 247±65 mm
