Superiority of systemic bleomycin to intradermal HOCl for the study of interstitial lung disease.
Article in Scientific reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is an autoimmune disease characterized by vasculopathy, immune dysregulation, and multi-organ fibrosis. Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is a complication of SSc and a leading cause of SSc-death. The administration of hypochlorous acid (HOCl) intradermally in the mouse (HOCl-SSc) purportedly shows several features typical of SSc. We studied the model by injecting BALB/c mice daily intradermally with HOCl for 6-weeks, an exposure reported to induce lung fibrosis. On day 42, the skinfold thickness and the dermal thickness were two and three times larger respectively in the HOCl group compared to controls. HOCl treatment did not result in histological features of pulmonary fibrosis nor significant changes in lung compliance. Automated image analysis of HOCl mice lungs stained with picrosirius red did not show increased collagen deposition. HOCl injections did not increase pulmonary mRNA expression of pro-fibrotic genes nor induced the production of serum advanced oxidation protein products and anti-topoisomerase 1 antibodies. Immune cells in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) and whole lung digests were not increased in HOCl-treated animals. Since lung fibrosis is proposed to be triggered by oxidative stress, we injected HOCl to Nrf2
