By pooling the data using a random-effect model, as shown in Fig 2 , the results suggested that the OS for IPF patients undergoing SLT was lower than those with DLT, but this did not reach statistical significance (HR = 1.08, 95% CI: 0.91–1.29; P = 0.391), indicating that the use of SLT versus DLT in IPF did not correspond to significantly different survival.
