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
Interstitial pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a progressive disease of diverse etiology manifesting with proliferation of lung fibroblasts and accumulation of extracellular matrix deposition in pulmonary interstitium. Recent studies show aberrant expression of mRNAs and microRNAs (miRNAs) in human embryonic pulmonary fibroblasts (HEPFs). In this study, we investigated effects of the YY1/HSF1/miR-214/THY1 axis on the functions of HEPFs and IPF. Loss- and gain-of-function tests were conducted to identify roles of YY1, HSF1, miR-214, and THY1 in IPF. As determined by RT-qPCR or western blot assay, silencing YY1 down-regulated HSF1 expression and attenuated the expression of pro-proliferative and fibrosis markers in HEPFs. Meanwhile, viability of HEPFs was impeded by YY1 knockdown. The binding relationship between miR-214 and THY1 was verified using dual-luciferase reporter assay. In HEPFs, down-regulation of HSF1 reduced miR-214 expression to repress proliferation and fibrogenic transformation of HEPFs, while inhibition of miR-214 expression could restrain the fibrogenic transformation property of HEPFs by up-regulating THY1. Subsequently, IPF model in mice was induced by bleomycin treatment. These animal experiments validated the protective effects of YY1 knockdown against IPF-induced lung pathological manifestations, which could be reversed by THY1 knockdown. Our study demonstrates the important involvement of YY1/HSF1/miR-214/THY1 axis in the development of IPF.
