Lung inflammation and interstitial fibrosis by targeted alveolar epithelial type I cell death.
Article in Frontiers in immunology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
Introduction: The pathogenesis of chronic lung diseases is multifaceted with a major role of recurrent micro-injuries of the epithelium. While several reports clearly indicated a prominent role for surfactant-producing alveolar epithelial type 2 (AT2) cells, the contribution of gas exchange-permissive alveolar epithelial type 1 (AT1) cells has not been addressed yet. Here, we investigated whether repeated injury of AT1 cells leads to inflammation and interstitial fibrosis. Methods: We chose an inducible model of AT1 cell depletion following local diphtheria toxin (DT) administration using an iDTR flox/flox (idTR Results: We investigated repeated doses and intervals of DT to induce cell death of AT1 cells causing inflammation and interstitial fibrosis. We found that repeated DT administrations at 1ng in iDTR Discussion: Together, we demonstrate that depletion of AT1 cells using repeated injury represents a novel approach to investigate chronic lung inflammatory diseases and to identify new therapeutic targets.
