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

Long-term peritoneal dialysis (PD) leads to peritoneal damage and chronic inflammation, resulting in peritoneal fibrosis (PF). Emerging evidence suggests that yes-associated protein (YAP) is a key player in fibrogenesis across various organs. However, its role in PD-induced PF remains unclear. We used NIH/3T3 cells, primary mouse fibroblasts, and conditional YAP knockout (CKO) mice with glioma-associated oncogene 1 (Gli1)-specific YAP deletion. The effects of YAP knockdown and verteporfin, a YAP inhibitor, on fibroblast-to-mesenchymal transition (FMT) and angiogenesis were evaluated. Transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) induced YAP expression and promoted fibroblast-to-myofibroblast transition (FMT) in 3T3 fibroblasts, upregulating collagen 1A1, α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA), and connective tissue growth factor (CTGF). YAP knockdown and verteporfin treatment reduced these FMT markers and inhibited smad2/3 phosphorylation. In vivo, YAP and Gli1-expressing cells were upregulated in PD-induced PF.
