Review in Advances in therapy, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 25 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

Interstitial lung diseases (ILD) encompasses a heterogeneous group of parenchymal lung diseases characterized by variable amounts of inflammation and fibrosis. The targeting of fibroblasts and myofibroblasts with antifibrotic treatments is a potential therapeutic target for these potentially fatal diseases. Treprostinil is unique among the prostacyclin mimetics in that it has distinct actions at additional prostaglandin receptors. Preclinical and clinical evidence suggests that treprostinil has antifibrotic effects through the activation of the prostaglandin E receptor 2 (EP
