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.
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
backgroundEndothelin-1 (ET-1) is involved in pulmonary vascular remodeling. The aim of this study was to investigate the biochemical interactions between PPAR-γ, TGF-β1 and ET-1 in vitro.
methodsA549 cells were pre-treated with S2505 (10 μM), S2871 (10 μM) with/without SB203580 (10 μM) for 60 min following 2 h treatment with 10 ng/mL TGF-β1. A549 cells were also transfected with positive or negative PPAR-γ plasmids for comparison. RT-PCR, ELISA, western blotting and confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) were used to measure the relevant expression of mRNA, protein, mediators of pathways and nuclear factor translocation.
resultsSB203580 inhibited TGF-β1 induced ET-1 expression in A549 cells. S2871 decreased PPAR-γ mRNA and increase TGF-β1-induced ET-1 expression. S2871 increased phosphorylation of p38 MAPK and Smad2. Cells transfected with PPAR-γ negative plasmid increased TGF-β1 induced ET-1 expression, and increased the expression of phospho-p38 MAPK and phospho-Smad2. S2505 increased PPAR-γ mRNA expression, suppressed the increased TGF-β1-induced expression of ET-1. S2505 inhibited TGF-β1 induced phosphorylation of p38 MAPK and Smad2, also the nuclear translocation of Smad2. Cells transfected with PPAR-γ positive plasmid reduced TGF-β1-induced ET-1 expression, and inhibited the expression of phospho-p38 MAPK and phospho-Smad2.
conclusionsTGF-β1 induced release of endothelin-1 is PPAR-γ dependent in cultured A549 cells.
