Dynamic assessing silica particle-induced pulmonary fibrosis and associated regulation of long non-coding RNA expression in Wistar rats.
Article in Genes and environment : the official journal of the Japanese Environmental Mutagen Society, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundExposure to respirable crystalline silica (RCS) can induce accelerated silicosis (AS), a form of silicosis that is more progressive and severe form of silicosis. In this project we aimed to assess processes of silicosis in rats exposed to RCS with focus on the regulation of long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs).
resultsThe results showed that RCS induced acute inflammatory response as indicated by the appearance of inflammatory cells in the lung from the first day and peaked on day 7 of exposure. The fibroblasts appeared along with the inflammatory cells decreasing gradually on day 14. Extensive fibrosis appeared in the lung tissue, and silicon nodules were getting larger on day 28. Interestingly, the number of altered lncRNAs increased with the exposure time with 193, 424, 455, 421 and 682 lncRNAs on day 1, 7, 14, 21, and 28 after exposure, respectively. We obtained 285 lncRNAs with five significant temporal expression patterns whose expressions might correlate with severity of silicosis. KEGG analysis showed that lncRNAs from short time-series expression miner (STEM)-derived data mainly involved in 17 pathways such as complement and coagulation cascades.
conclusionsThe differential expression profiles of lncRNAs may be potential biomarkers in silicosis through modulating expressions of their relevant genes in lungs of rat and thus warrant further investigation.
