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

After birth, the alveolar capillary network expands to increase gas exchange surface area and endothelial-derived signals promote alveolarization. Lung capillaries are comprised of two distinct subsets, one with proliferative potential to facilitate growth and repair (Cap1), and the other serving a specialized role in gas exchange (Cap2). However, the molecular mechanisms directing capillary speciation, developmental plasticity, and fate transitions during development and repair are not well understood. Here, we show that Cap2 are absent in late embryonic life but rapidly appear and expand immediately after birth. We show that Cap1 progenitors first transition to a novel, intermediate cell state (Cap
