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

Aberrant wound healing responses to lung injury are believed to contribute to fibrotic lung diseases, such as idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). The lysophospholipids lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) and sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P), by virtue of their ability to mediate many basic cellular functions, including survival, proliferation, migration, and contraction, can influence many of the biological processes involved in wound healing. Accordingly, recent investigations indicate that LPA and S1P may play critical roles in regulating the development of lung fibrosis. Here we review the evidence indicating that LPA and S1P regulate pulmonary fibrosis and the potential mechanisms through which these lysophospholipids may influence fibrogenesis induced by lung injury.
