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

Pulmonary fibrosis (PF) is a progressive interstitial lung disease with limited treatment options. The incidence and prevalence of PF is increasing with age, cell senescence has been proposed as a pathogenic driver, the clearance of senescent cells could improve lung function in PF. FOXO4-D-Retro-Inverso (FOXO4-DRI), a synthesis peptide, has been reported to selectively kill senescent cells in aged mice. However, it remains unknown if FOXO4-DRI could clear senescent cells in PF and reverse this disease. In this study, we explored the effect of FOXO4-DRI on bleomycin (BLM)-induced PF mouse model. We found that similar as the approved medication Pirfenidone, FOXO4-DRI decreased senescent cells, downregulated the expression of senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) and attenuated BLM-induced morphological changes and collagen deposition. Furthermore, FOXO4-DRI could increase the percentage of type 2 alveolar epithelial cells (AEC2) and fibroblasts, and decrease the myofibroblasts in bleomycin (BLM)-induced PF mouse model. Compared with mouse and human lung fibroblast cell lines, FOXO4-DRI is inclined to kill TGF-β-induced myofibroblast in vitro. The inhibited effect of FOXO4-DRI on myofibroblast lead to a downregulation of extracellular matrix (ECM) receptor interaction pathway in BLM-induced PF. Above all, FOXO4-DRI ameliorates BLM-induced PF in mouse and may be served as a viable therapeutic option for PF.
