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

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a chronic and progressive lung disease of unknown etiology with limited treatment options. It is characterized by repetitive injury to alveolar epithelial cells and aberrant activation of numerous signaling pathways. Recent evidence suggests that metabolic reprogramming, metabolic dysregulation, and mitochondria dysfunction are distinctive features of the IPF lungs. Through numerous mechanisms, metabolomic abnormalities in alveolar epithelial cells, myofibroblast, macrophages, and fibroblasts contribute to the abnormal collagen synthesis and dysregulated airway remodeling described in lung fibrosis. This review summarizes the metabolomic changes in amino acids, lipids, glucose, and heme seen in IPF lungs. Simultaneously, we provide new insights into potential therapeutic strategies by targeting a variety of metabolites.
