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

Background: Fibrotic interstitial lung diseases (ILDs) are characterized by different degrees of inflammation and fibrosis of the lung parenchyma that are associated with progressive loss of breath, high morbidity and mortality. Current therapeutic options are limited, so there remains a significant need for effective and well-tolerated treatments. GTX-11 is an orally available small molecule in development for the treatment of fibrotic diseases. In this study, we aimed to assess the therapeutic potential of GTX-11 in different preclinical models of lung fibrotic disease. Methods: We assessed the activity of GTX-11 and its active metabolite, GTX-11m, in the bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis model and Results: In the murine model, GTX-11 treatment improved animal survival and significantly reduced lung fibrosis as measured by Ashcroft score and collagen deposition. GTX-11 also reduced the inflammatory cell count in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid and pro-inflammatory factors in lung tissue. Additionally, GTX-11 significantly improved lung vascular dysfunction and reduced pulmonary vascular remodeling. The preclinical anti-fibrotic effects of GTX-11 were comparable to, or in some cases exceeded, those of currently approved anti-fibrotic drugs used in clinical practice. Conclusion: Altogether, our studies reveal that GTX-11 is an effective antifibrotic both
