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

Radiation-induced pulmonary fibrosis (RIPF) represents a serious complication observed in individuals undergoing thoracic radiation therapy. Currently, effective interventions for RIPF are unavailable. Prior research has demonstrated that nintedanib, a Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved anti-fibrotic agent for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, exerts therapeutic effects on chronic fibrosing interstitial lung disease. This research aimed to investigate the anti-fibrotic influences of nintedanib on RIPF and reveal the fundamental mechanisms. To assess its therapeutic impact, a mouse model of RIPF was established. The process involved nintedanib administration at various time points, both prior to and following thoracic radiation. In the RIPF mouse model, an assessment was conducted on survival rates, body weight, computed tomography features, histological parameters, and changes in gene expression.
