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

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a chronic, progressive scarring interstitial lung disease with an unknown cause. Some patients may experience acute exacerbations (AE), which result in severe lung damage visible on imaging or through examination of tissue samples, often leading to high mortality rates. However, the etiology and pathogenesis of AE-IPF remain unclear. AE-IPF patients exhibit diffuse lung damage, apoptosis of type II alveolar epithelial cells, and an excessive inflammatory response. Establishing a reliable animal model of AE is critical for investigating the pathogenesis. Recent studies have reported a variety of animal models for AE-IPF, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. These models are usually established in mice with bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis, using viruses, bacteria, small peptides, or specific drugs. In this review, we present an overview of different AE models, hoping to provide a useful resource for exploring the mechanisms and targeted therapies for AE-IPF.
