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

Fibrosis usually results from dysregulated wound repair and is characterized by excessive scar tissue. It is a complex process with unclear mechanisms. Accumulating evidence indicates that epigenetic alterations, including histone acetylation, play a pivotal role in this process. Histone acetylation is governed by histone acetyltransferases (HATs) and histone deacetylases (HDACs). HDACs are enzymes that remove the acetyl groups from both histone and nonhistone proteins. Aberrant HDAC activities are observed in fibrotic diseases, including cardiac and pulmonary fibrosis. HDAC inhibitors (HDACIs) are molecules that block HDAC functions. HDACIs have been studied extensively in a variety of tumors. Currently, there are four HDACIs approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for cancer treatment yet none for fibrotic diseases.
