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.

Abstract

BACKGROUND AND

objectiveFibrotic interstitial lung disease (F-ILD) has high mortality, necessitating multidimensional staging to assess severity, predict prognosis, and guide treatment. However, the gender-age-physiology (GAP) index lacks patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) and exercise test parameters, and traditional methods may miss complex variable interactions. The study aimed to develop a risk model of mortality in F-ILD using routine PROMs and exercise test parameters, and to compare the predictive performance with GAP staging system.

methodsBetween December 2018 and December 2022, 246 patients from the ILD Prospective Registry with at least 1 year of follow-up (excluding death) were enrolled. Baseline assessments included GAP, 1MSTS, 6MWD, mMRC, SGRQ, and SF36. A tree-based risk model was developed and validated with a 2:1 split. Kaplan-Meier curves and Cox regression were used to estimate survival and hazard ratios, with statistical significance set at p < 0.05.

resultsThe very-high-risk group (SGRQ > 34.5, 1MSTS < 21) had a significantly higher hazard ratio (HR = 5.13; 95% CI: 2.54-10.35) compared to the non-very-high-risk group. Their 1-, 2-, and 5-year mortality rates were 28.87%, 47.18%, and 82.42%, respectively, similar to GAP stage III but with narrower confidence intervals.

conclusionThis study developed a prognostic model for F-ILD combining PROMs and functional exercise data. The model, which includes the SGRQ, 6MWD, and 1MSTS, outperforms GAP staging, offering benefits like reduced patient fatigue and improved monitoring. Multicenter studies are needed to validate these findings.

trial registrationThe study was registered on ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT06476470).
