Age-dependent Genetic Risk in Pulmonary Fibrosis Patients and Relatives.
Article in medRxiv : the preprint server for health sciences, 2026. 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
Rationale: Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is an age-related disorder with common and rare genetic risk factors. It is unknown if the effects of PF genetic risk factors differ by chronologic age. Objectives: To assess age-specific effects of genetic risk factors in PF patients and their relatives. Methods: We identified common and rare genetic risk factors using a Columbia whole genome sequencing (WGS) cohort (777 IPF, 2905 controls) and replicated findings using Trans-Omics for Precision Medicine (TOPMed, 1148 IPF, 5202 controls). We assessed age-stratified genetic risk of IPF and assessed for interaction with age across a range of cutoffs. We analyzed 313 FPF pedigrees and compared age-specific prevalence of interstitial lung disease in relatives stratified by proband genetic risk factors. Measurements and Main Results: Adjusted odds of disease from Conclusions: Age modifies the effects of genetic risk factors in IPF. Rare variants confer greater risk in younger individuals whereas the
