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

Background: This study evaluated the feasibility of dual-energy CT (DECT) for assessing the correlation between hydroxyproline (HYP) levels in lung tissue of patients with nonspecific interstitial pneumonia (NSIP) and lung volume and pulmonary function. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 99 NSIP patients (51 cellular, 48 fibrotic) and 40 controls. All underwent DECT imaging. Lung HYP‑equivalent density (HYP‑ED) and volume were quantified using spectral post-processing. Pulmonary function parameters, including FVC% Pred and DLCO% Pred, were collected. Intergroup differences, correlations, and diagnostic performance were assessed. Results: Lung volume was higher in controls (3797.40 ± 1155.68 cc) than in cellular (2796.88 ± 334.03 cc) and fibrotic NSIP (2156.76 ± 423.40 cc; Conclusions: DECT enables noninvasive quantification of lung HYP-ED in NSIP. HYP‑ED correlates with disease severity and may serve as a promising imaging biomarker for fibrosis assessment and monitoring.
