Beyond classical collagen: basement membrane collagen IV in age-associated lung diseases.
Review in European respiratory review : an official journal of the European Respiratory Society, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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.
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
Chronic lung diseases such as COPD, asthma, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and pulmonary hypertension are characterised by aberrant remodelling and degradation of the extracellular matrix. This is particularly evident within the basement membrane. Collagen IV, a major component of the basement membrane, is essential for maintaining structural support and regulating cell behaviour. However, disruptions in collagen IV metabolism and basement membrane integrity have been implicated in the pathogenesis of chronic lung diseases, especially in ageing populations where basement membrane turnover is compromised. Cleavage of collagen IV during basement membrane remodelling generates bioactive fragments known as matrikines, which serve as markers of tissue remodelling and potential diagnostic biomarkers. Despite the prominence of collagen IV in the basement membrane, its role in chronic lung diseases remains understudied compared to other collagen types. This review provides a comprehensive exploration of the roles of basement membrane collagen IV and its matrikines in COPD, asthma, IPF and pulmonary hypertension, emphasising their significance beyond classical matrix components.
