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

Liver and lung fibrosis are two main organ diseases that are of particular importance in both Egypt and the US. Hepatitis C Virus "HCV" infection and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) are fibrotic diseases of the liver and lung respectively. The liver and lung are reported in literature to share many immune/inflammatory responses to damage through the lung-liver axis. Most importantly, HCV was shown to enhance the development of IPF and is considered one of the risk factors for IPF. The renin angiotensin system (RAS) plays a critical role in the fibrogenesis and inflammation damage of many organs including liver and lung. The relatively recently identified component of RAS, angiotensin converting enzyme-2 (ACE-2), has shown a promising therapeutic potential in models of liver and pulmonary fibrosis. This article reviews the role of RAS in organ fibrosis with focus on role of ACE-2 in fibrotic diseases of the liver and the lung.
