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

Fibrosis plays a role in many pathological conditions, among which is the autoimmune disease systemic sclerosis (SSc). SSc is characterized by fibrosis in the skin and internal organs, but the etiology remains to be elucidated. Transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) is a key player in the fibrotic process, also in SSc. TGF-β induces the production of several components of the extracellular matrix and induces differentiation of fibroblasts to myofibroblasts, which further worsens fibrosis. Although TGF-β has been extensively investigated in fibrosis, the roles of several components of its signaling pathway are still unknown. Endoglin is a coreceptor for TGF-β and is known to modulate TGF-β signaling. Therefore, endoglin could enhance the effects of TGF-β in fibrosis or act as an inhibitor. Multiple studies have been conducted that support either hypothesis. Elucidating the exact role of endoglin in TGF-β signaling during fibrosis is important in understanding the process of fibrosis and could lead to the development of better treatments.
