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

Numerous analyses including in vivo and in vitro experiments have demonstrated that inhalation exposure of NiONPs can result in pulmonary fibrosis. However, the potential mechanisms of this pathological process remain elusive. Here, we investigate the role of HIF-1α and TGF-ß1 in NiONPs-induced pulmonary fibrosis with a focus on the interplay of the above two proteins. In vivo, male Sprague&Dawley rats were exposed to NiONPs and pulmonary fibrosis was demonstrated using H&E staining and immunochemistry of αSMA. In vitro, NiONPs contributed to cell proliferation and increased expressions of collagen-1 and αSMA in human fetal lung fibroblasts. Both HIF-1α and TGF-ß1 were upregulated by NiONPs treatment. Inhibition of HIF-1α reduced TGF-ß1 expression and downregulation of TGF-ß1 reduced HIF-1α protein level. Mechanism investigation revealed that TGF-ß1 affects nuclear translocation activity of HIF-1α. Taken together, these finding provide evidence that HIF-1α and TGF-ß1 act in synergy to foster NiONPs-induced pulmonary fibrosis, and the cross talk between them is a pivotal mechanism of pulmonary fibrosis.
