Nintedanib in progressive bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS) grade 0p-1-2 in lung transplant recipients (INFINITIx-BOS): protocol of a French multicenter randomized controlled trial.
Article in Trials, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03283007 (A Multi-center, Randomised, Double-blind Trial of Nintedanib in Lung Transplant), which is not on this 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.

Abstract
backgroundLong-term survival after lung transplantation (LTx) is still hampered by the development of chronic allograft dysfunction (CLAD). Bronchiolitis obliterative syndrome (BOS), the most common phenotype of CLAD, is thought to arise from repeated injuries to graft epithelial cells, leading to fibrous scarring of small airways. Thus far, there is no approved treatment for BOS disease. Based on both animal/human studies in LTx and the demonstrated efficacy of the TKI nintedanib treatment in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), nintedanib is a candidate molecule capable of stopping the fibroproliferative process in BOS. Hence, the rationale to conduct a nintedanib trial in LTx recipients with BOS is based on (i) an unmet medical need due to poor survival after BOS diagnosis; (ii) the demonstrated fibrotic pathways in BOS; and (iii) the proven efficacy of nintedanib in IPF.
methodsThe INFINITIx-BOS study is an investigator-initiated, national multicentric, phase II, superiority, parallel-group, double-blind, comparative randomized clinical trial. A total of 80 recipients with progressive BOS within the prior year, at least at 6 months post-LTx, will be randomized to receive either nintedanib (150 mg bid) or placebo for a period of 6 months, in addition to maintenance immunosuppressive therapy left to their physician's discretion with 4 dedicated visits. The primary endpoint is the slope of decline over 6 months of treatment. The secondary endpoints are change in 6-min walk test, SGRQ, graft failure, SPO2, and safety events over 6 months, which will be compared between the two arms. DISCUSSION: Based on a fibrotic pattern partially shared between IPF and BOS, this randomized INFINITIx-BOS trial has the potential to demonstrate an additional strategy with nintedanib as a targeted-fibrotic pathway associated with BOS.
