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

contextPulmonary fibrosis (PF) is a highly heterogeneous and lethal pathological process having no effective drug. Engeletin exerts multiple biological activities including anti-inflammatory and lung repair. Whether engeletin has therapeutic effects on PF remains unclear.

objectiveExamining effect and mechanism of engeletin on PF MATERIALS AND

methodsL929 cells (1 × 10

resultsHistological staining showed engeletin inhibited myofibrobasts activation and improved alveolar structure. Engeletin elevated forced vital capacity from 12 induced by bleomycin to 17. CCK-8 assay reported IC

conclusionsWe reported gene expression profiling of engeletin through RNA-seq; and identified lnc949-mediated TGF-β1-Smad2/3 and JNK were upstream signalling pathways of ER stress induced by engeletin. Our results showed engeletin remedies pulmonary fibrogenesis and may be a new drug candidate.
