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

Lung injury in preterm infants leads to structural and functional respiratory deficits, with a risk for bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) that in its most severe form is accompanied by pulmonary hypertension (PH). To identify potential cellular and molecular drivers of BPD in humans, we performed single-cell RNA sequencing of preterm infant lungs with evolving BPD and BPD + PH compared to term infants. Examination of endothelial cells reveals a unique, aberrant capillary cell-state in BPD + PH defined by ANKRD1 expression. Within the alveolar parenchyma in infants with BPD/BPD + PH, predictive signaling analysis identifies surprising deficits in the semaphorin guidance-cue pathway, with decreased expression of pro-angiogenic transcription factor FOXF1. Loss of semaphorin signaling is replicated in a murine BPD model and in humans with causal FOXF1 mutations for alveolar capillary dysplasia (ACDMPV), suggesting a mechanistic link between developmental programs underlying BPD and ACDMPV and uncovering a critical role for semaphorin signaling in normal lung development.
