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

Objective: Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is a common and serious complication of anti-synthase syndrome (ASS), exhibiting high heterogeneity. This study aimed to stratify patients with ASS-associated ILD (ASS-ILD) based on their clinical features, high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) findings, and specific antibody profiles. We also aimed to build a predictive model for severe ASS-ILD to help identify it more accurately. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the clinical and laboratory data of 100 patients with ASS-ILD. Unsupervised clustering of clinical characteristics was done using multiple correspondence analysis (MCA) and hierarchical cluster analysis. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression were used to find independent risk factors for severe ASS-ILD, and a risk prediction model was built. Results: We identified three patient groups: Cluster 1 ( Conclusion: Identifying ASS-ILD heterogeneity requires comprehensive consideration of HRCT features, antibody profiles, and clinical manifestations. The combined biomarker index (based on complement C3, rash, and age) offers an objective tool for ASS-ILD diagnosis and risk stratification.
