Therapeutic Role of Recombinant Human Soluble Thrombomodulin for Acute Exacerbation of Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis.
Review in Medicina (Kaunas, Lithuania), 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
Acute exacerbation of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (AE-IPF) is an acute respiratory worsening of unidentifiable cause that sometimes develops during the clinical course of IPF. Although the incidence of AE-IPF is not high, prognosis is poor. The pathogenesis of AE-IPF is not well understood; however, evidence suggests that coagulation abnormalities and inflammation are involved. Thrombomodulin is a transmembranous glycoprotein found on the cell surface of vascular endothelial cells. Thrombomodulin combines with thrombin, regulates coagulation/fibrinolysis balance, and has a pivotal role in suppressing excess inflammation through its inhibition of high-mobility group box 1 protein and the complement system. Thus, thrombomodulin might be effective in the treatment of AE-IPF, and we and other groups found that recombinant human soluble thrombomodulin improved survival in patients with AE-IPF. This review summarizes the existing evidence and considers the therapeutic role of thrombomodulin in AE-IPF.
