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

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is characterized by progressive scarring of lung tissue with an urgent need for effective treatments. Studies have shown that the alveolar transitional cell state (ATCS) emerges in fibrotic regions of the IPF lung. However, whether ATCS is the cause or consequence of fibrosis is controversial, and no therapeutic agents targeting the alveolar epithelial differentiation are used to treat IPF. In this study, we performed a drug screening with an in vitro pulmonary fibrosis model using fibroblast-dependent alveolar organoids derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) and identified p300/CBP inhibitors as candidate therapeutic agents. Multi-omics technology revealed that ATCS induced from human iPSCs-derived alveolar organoids had a compatible profile with that reported in IPF and p300/CBP inhibitors suppressed the emergence of ATCS. Overall, these results elucidate the biological mechanisms of pulmonary fibrosis and provide a potential therapeutic target.
