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

Pirfenidone and nintedanib are only anti-pulmonary fibrosis (PF) drugs approved by the FDA. However, they are not target specific, and unable to modify the disease status. Therefore, it is still desirable to discover more effective agents against PF. Vimentin (VIM) plays key roles in tissue regeneration and wound healing, but its molecular mechanism remains unknown. In this work, we demonstrated that atractylodinol (ATD) significantly inhibits TGF-β1-induced epithelial-mesenchymal transition and fibroblast-to-myofibroblast transition in vitro. ATD also reduces bleomycin-induced lung injury and fibrosis in mice models. Mechanistically, ATD inhibited TGF-β receptor I recycling by binding to VIM (K
