High density lipoproteins, disease severity and clinical outcomes in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.

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
backgroundDysregulation of lipid metabolism is implicated in the pathogenesis of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). We assessed associations between circulating levels of high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C) and its components apolipoprotein A-1 (ApoA1) and paraoxonase-1 (PON-1) and disease severity and outcomes in patients with IPF.
methodsThe cohort comprised 284 patients enrolled in the IPF-PRO Registry. We analyzed associations between HDL-C, ApoA1 and PON-1 levels at enrollment and measures of disease severity at enrollment (using linear regression) and outcomes during follow-up (using Cox models). Models were adjusted for demographic and clinical variables, including cardiovascular disease and statin use, assessed at enrollment.
resultsIn unadjusted models, higher ApoA1 and lower PON-1 were associated with higher FVC % predicted at enrollment. Median follow-up was 40 months. In unadjusted models, higher ApoA1 at enrollment was associated with lower risks of all-cause mortality (hazard ratio [HR] 0.32 [95% CI: 0.16, 0.64] per unit higher log2 ApoA1) and respiratory hospitalization (HR 0.25 [0.11, 0.57] per unit higher log2 ApoA1). In analyses adjusted for demographic and clinical variables, the association with respiratory hospitalization remained significant (HR 0.30 [95% CI: 0.10, 0.88; p = 0.029]), but the association with all-cause mortality was no longer significant (HR 0.44 [95% CI: 0.18, 1.08; p = 0.074]). Levels of PON-1 or HDL-C were not associated with all-cause mortality or respiratory hospitalization.
conclusionIn a real-world cohort of patients with IPF, a higher circulating level of ApoA1 was associated with a lower risk of respiratory hospitalization. ApoA1 is a potential prognostic biomarker in patients with IPF.
