Design of a phase II randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, dose-finding trial of BI 1819479 in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.
Article in ERJ open research, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06335303 (A Randomised, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Dose-finding Study Evaluating Efficacy, Safety, and Tolerability of Different Oral Doses of BI 1819479 Over at Least 24 Weeks in Patients With Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis), which is not on this map.

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: Current treatments for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) slow but do not stop/reverse disease progression. The lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) axis is identified as a therapeutic target for IPF. Objective: This study aims to assess BI 1819479, an LPA pathway inhibitor, in patients with IPF (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT06335303). Methods: In this placebo-controlled, phase II trial, patients will be randomised (2:1:1:1) to receive one of three oral doses of BI 1819479 or placebo, stratified by nintedanib/pirfenidone use. Patients aged ≥40 years with IPF, forced vital capacity (FVC) ≥45% of predicted normal and haemoglobin-corrected diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide ≥25% of predicted normal at screening will be included. Patients with relevant airway obstruction (pre-bronchodilator forced expiratory volume in 1 s/FVC <0.7), acute IPF exacerbation ≤12 weeks prior to screening, treatment with immunosuppressive medications (other than oral corticosteroids) or prednisone >15 mg·day Conclusion: This trial evaluates the efficacy, safety and dose range of BI 1819479 in patients with IPF, offering a potential additional treatment option, and will establish appropriate dosing for phase III trials.
