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

Fibrosis represents a pivotal pathological process in numerous diseases, characterized by excessive deposition of extracellular matrix (ECM) that disrupts normal tissue architecture and function. In the heart, cardiac fibrosis significantly impairs both structural integrity and functional capacity, contributing to the progression of heart failure. Central to this process are cardiac fibroblasts (CFs), which, upon activation, differentiate into contractile myofibroblasts, driving pathological ECM accumulation. Transforming growth factor-beta (TGFβ) is a well-established regulator of fibroblast activation; however, the precise molecular mechanisms, particularly the involvement of ion channels, remain poorly understood. Emerging evidence highlights the regulatory role of ion channels, including calcium-activated potassium (K
