Diagnostic significance of HRCT imaging features in idiopathic inflammatory myopathy-associated interstitial lung disease.
Article in BMC pulmonary medicine, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the 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.
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
backgroundConnective tissue disease-associated interstitial lung disease (CTD-ILD) is an important factor leading to a poor prognosis in connective tissue disease (CTD) patients. To analyze the clinical and imaging data of CTD-ILD patients, summarize their characteristics, and explore the diagnostic value of certain specific High Resolution Computed Tomography (HRCT) manifestations and their distribution patterns for idiopathic inflammatory myopathy-associated interstitial lung disease (IIM-ILD).
methodsThis study conducted a retrospective analysis of demographic data and HRCT findings from 384 patients with CTD-ILD. Using multivariable logistic regression, hierarchical analysis, and sensitivity analysis to compare data from the IIM-ILD group and other connective tissue disease-associated interstitial lung disease (OCTD-ILD) group, we summarized the imaging features and distribution of IIM-ILD, providing imaging clues for its recognition.
resultsThe distribution of different imaging features differed between the IIM-ILD patients and the OCTD-ILD patients. This study found that nonspecific interstitial pneumonia (NSIP) located in the upper lung field, as well as organized pneumonia (OP) located in the middle and lower lung fields, are relatively significant characteristics that distinguish idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM) from other connective tissue disease (OCTD) (the odds ratios (OR) were 2.51, 5.46, and 8.33, respectively, P < 0.001). If both NSIP in the upper lung field and OP in the lower lung field are present, diagnostic performance in differentiating IIM from OCTD will be further enhanced (sensitivity 55.90%, specificity 94.18%, accuracy 74.74%, OR 20.51, P < 0.001).
conclusionsThis study indicated that for patients with CTD-ILD, specific HRCT manifestations could be used to distinguish IIM-ILD from OCTD-ILD, thereby assisting in clinical diagnosis. The coexistence of NSIP in the upper lung fields and OP in the lower lung fields would suggest a higher possibility of IIM-ILD.
