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

Pulmonary fibrosis (PF) is a chronic, progressive lung disease characterized by impaired gas exchange and respiratory difficulties, which can ultimately lead to respiratory failure and mortality. The present study explored the therapeutic effects and underlying mechanisms of oxymatrine (OMT) in an 8‑week‑old C57BL/6 mouse model of bleomycin‑induced PF. The results demonstrated that OMT alleviated lung tissue damage, inflammation and collagen deposition, while promoting autophagy and restoring mitochondrial function. OMT achieved these effects by upregulating apurinic/apyrimidinic endonuclease‑1 (APE1) and activating the PTEN‑induced kinase 1 (PINK1)/Parkin pathway, both of which are key for mitochondrial autophagy. Furthermore, Lewis lung carcinoma mouse lung cancer cells were transduced with an adeno-associated virus containing small interfering RNA
