Combined transcriptomic and lipidomic analysis of D-4F ameliorating bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis.

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
backgroundIdiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a progressive lung disease that leads to respiratory failure, and for which there is no effective treatment. Apolipoprotein A-1 (ApoA-1) has been reported to ameliorate the bleomycin (BLM)-induced IPF model.
methodsTo examine the function of D-4F, an ApoA-1 mimetic polypeptide, in IPF, we used an
resultsThere were 35 differentially altered lipids (DALs) in the BLK, Model and Inter Groups. A Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analysis showed that glycerophospholipid metabolism was the most highly enriched of the 35 DALs. There were 99 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in the BLK, Model and Inter Groups. The enriched KEGG pathway analysis showed that the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway was 1 of the top 10 pathways. The results of the untargeted lipidomic and transcriptomic analysis showed that phospholipase A2 group 4c (Pla2g4c) was a crucial gene in both the MAPK pathway and glycerophospholipid metabolism. Pla2g4c was increased in the Model Group but decreased in the Inter Group.
conclusionsIt may be that D-4F prevented the BLM-induced pulmonary fibrosis model by inhibiting the expression of pla2g4c. Our findings suggest that D-4F may be a potential treatment of IPF.
