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 fibrosis, characterized by persistent deposition of extracellular matrix to alveolar areas, is a progressive fibrotic disease, which leads to lung function decline and mortality. At the cellular level, myofibroblast activation and proliferation are the central cellular events of lung fibrosis. Here, through a functional genetics screen, we identify cyclin-dependent kinase 13 (CDK13) as a regulator of pro-fibrotic gene expression. Further analyses show that CDK13 cooperates with CDK12 and CDK7 to synergistically induce myofibroblast activation, contractility, and proliferation. Pharmacological inhibition of CDK7/12/13 by a small molecule inhibitor, THZ1, induces myofibroblast reprogramming and reverses myofibroblast activation
