Basement membranes in lung development, disease, and repair.
Review in Matrix biology : journal of the International Society for Matrix Biology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
The primary function of the respiratory system is the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide across the alveolar-capillary barrier in the distal lung. This structure is composed of alveolar epithelial cells (type 1 and type 2) and capillary endothelial cells, separated by a thin, fused alveolar basement membrane. The developmental programming that creates this specialized niche is largely unexplored and the role of lung basement membranes in respiratory disease pathogenesis and repair remains an emerging field of study. Thus, in this review, we discuss the distribution, composition, and function of the alveolar basement membrane, as well as the other three lung basement membranes that support the airway epithelium, airway smooth muscles, and the endothelium of the macrovasculature in lung development and disease.
