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

backgroundPulmonary hypertension (PH) is a lethal disease characterized in part by progressive pulmonary arteriole (PA) remodeling. Excessive PA fibrosis and macrophage infiltration are often present in PH, but the potential associations are obscure. We investigated the link between interstitial macrophage (iMΦ) infiltration and PA fibrosis in PH and idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension.

methodsLung tissue samples from patients with idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension and experimental PH animals were obtained to analyze the extent of fibrosis and iMΦ infiltration in the different layers of PAs and their correlation with disease severity. Single-cell RNA sequencing, lineage tracing, histological analyses, iMΦ and PA smooth muscle cell coculture, and transgenic animal experiments were used to investigate the cell heterogeneity and origins and molecular mechanisms by which iMΦs promote PA fibrosis.

resultsWe found that increased collagen deposition and fibrosis in the PA media were most strongly related to the severity of PH, and medial iMΦ infiltration may be involved in these pathological processes. Single-cell transcriptomics revealed that major histocompatibility complex class II (high) lymphatic vessel endothelial hyaluronan receptor 1 (low) C-C motif chemokine receptor 2 (high) (MHCII
