NOX1 Promotes Mesothelial-Mesenchymal Transition through Modulation of Reactive Oxygen Species-mediated Signaling.
Article in American journal of respiratory cell and molecular biology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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
Pleural organization may occur after empyema or complicated parapneumonic effusion and can result in restrictive lung disease with pleural fibrosis (PF). Pleural mesothelial cells (PMCs) may contribute to PF through acquisition of a profibrotic phenotype, mesothelial-mesenchymal transition (MesoMT), which is characterized by increased expression of α-SMA (α-smooth muscle actin) and other myofibroblast markers. Although MesoMT has been implicated in the pathogenesis of PF, the role of the reactive oxygen species and the NOX (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate oxidase) family in pleural remodeling remains unclear. Here, we show that NOX1 expression is enhanced in nonspecific human pleuritis and is induced in PMCs by THB (thrombin). 4-Hydroxy-2-nonenal, an indicator of reactive oxygen species damage, was likewise increased in our mouse model of pleural injury. NOX1 downregulation blocked THB- and Xa (factor Xa)-mediated MesoMT, as did pharmacologic inhibition of NOX1 with ML-171. NOX1 inhibition also reduced phosphorylation of Akt, p65, and tyrosine 216-GSK-3β, signaling molecules previously shown to be implicated in MesoMT. Conversely, ML-171 did not reverse established MesoMT. NOX4 downregulation attenuated TGF-β- and THB-mediated MesoMT. However, NOX1 downregulation did not affect NOX4 expression. NOX1- and NOX4-deficient mice were also protected in our mouse model of
