Citrullinated and malondialdehyde-acetaldehyde-modified fibrinogen activates macrophages and promotes profibrotic responses in human lung fibroblasts.
Article in American journal of physiology. Lung cellular and molecular physiology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
The objective of this study was to assess fibrinogen (FIB) comodified with citrulline (CIT) and/or malondialdehyde-acetaldehyde (MAA) initiates macrophage-fibroblast interactions, leading to extracellular matrix (ECM) deposition that characterizes rheumatoid arthritis-associated interstitial lung disease (RA-ILD). Macrophages (Mϕ) were stimulated with native-FIB, FIB-CIT, FIB-MAA, or FIB-MAA-CIT. Supernatants (SNs) [Mϕ-SN (U-937-derived) or MϕP-SN (PBMC-derived)] or direct antigens were coincubated with human lung fibroblasts (HLFs). Gene expression was examined using RT-PCR. ECM deposition was quantified using immunohistochemistry and Western blot; cell signaling mechanisms were delineated. Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)-BB and TGF-β were measured in macrophage supernatants, and inhibition studies were performed using Su16f and SB431542, respectively. HLF gene expression of
