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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundAlthough guidelines recommend a multidisciplinary team (MDT) approach for the diagnosis and management of systemic autoimmune rheumatic disease-associated interstitial lung disease (SARD-ILD), they lack guidance on MDT composition and function. This Delphi consensus project aimed to define a shared MDT model for managing patients with SARD-ILD.

methodsA questionnaire was circulated to an expert panel of 77 Italian pulmonologists, rheumatologists, immunologists, and internal medicine specialists, with statements rated over two voting rounds using a 5-point Likert scale.

resultsResponse rates were 73% and 95% for the first and second rounds, respectively, after which consensus (≥ 66.6% agreement) was achieved for all the statements. Consensus statements and recommendations address the responsibilities of healthcare professionals involved in an MDT, including organization, referrals, management, and standard outcomes.

conclusionAlthough limited to Italy, the current consensus project is the first attempt to define shared rules for MDTs in the context of SARD-ILD, but further work is needed to achieve international consensus on this topic.
