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

Aging and cellular senescence are increasingly recognized as key contributors to pulmonary fibrosis. However, our understanding in the context of scleroderma-associated interstitial lung disease (SSc-ILD) is limited. To investigate, we leveraged previously established lung aging- and cell-specific senescence signatures to determine their presence and potential relevance to SSc-ILD. We performed a gene expression meta-analysis of lung tissues from 38 SSc-ILD and 18 healthy controls and found that markers (GDF15, COMP, and CDKN2A) and pathways (p53) of senescence were significantly increased in SSc-ILD. When probing the established aging and cellular senescence signatures, we found that epithelial and fibroblast senescence signatures had a 3.6- and 3.7-fold enrichment, respectively, in the lung tissue of SSc-ILD and that lung aging genes (
