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

Fibrotic interstitial lung diseases (ILDs), including idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and progressive pulmonary fibrosis (PPF), are characterized by an irreversible decline in lung function and high mortality. While two approved antifibrotic therapies, nintedanib and pirfenidone, have been shown to alter the disease trajectory by slowing its progression, the disease remains incurable. This review summarizes current pharmacological treatments for fibrotic interstitial lung disease (f-ILD), mainly IPF and PPF; highlights novel antifibrotic targets such as the lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) receptor; outlines the therapeutic development pipeline; and discusses emerging strategies, including personalized medicine and early intervention.
