Advancing practitioner knowledge in interstitial lung disease: a review of free, online resources.
Review in ATS scholar, 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
backgroundPractitioner comfort with diagnosis and management of interstitial lung disease (ILD) remains low despite growing knowledge in the area. Existing educational resources that cater specifically to clinicians and are freely accessible online can provide a valuable tool to address these needs.
objectiveWe aimed to catalog the current landscape of practitioner-focused ILD educational materials that are freely accessible online. We discuss the ways in which these resources can be applied to learners at varied levels of practice to address knowledge gaps identified in prior literature.
methodsA multiphase search was employed to identify educational resources using Google Search, online medical databases, an artificial intelligence tool (ChatGPT), and a survey of Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation Education Committee members. Resources that required payment for access or were not readily available were excluded. We classified each resource according to content category, ILD topics covered, and educational strategy utilized.
resultsWe cataloged 33 ILD educational resources. The majority feature disease overviews on diagnosis and management in a narrative text format. The content ranges from case studies to imaging interpretation and utilizes various delivery methods, from videos to podcasts. Some resources offer learner assessments and free continuing education credits. Peer-reviewed content and clarity on update frequency were lacking.
conclusionsThis review provides a catalog of free online ILD educational resources that can supplement ILD education for non-ILD expert practitioners. These resources address identified knowledge gaps and can be utilized for self-directed learning or integration into formal training curricula.
