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

The crosstalk between immune or alveolar epithelial cells and fibroblasts mediated by paracrine signaling molecules is associated with the pathogenesis of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). However, studies investigating the active involvement of soluble mediators derived from bronchial epithelial cells in fibroblast activation and the development of pulmonary fibrosis are limited. Reanalysis of bulk and single-cell RNA-sequencing data from human bronchus and IPF lung tissue revealed marked upregulation of parathyroid hormone-like hormone (PTHLH) in IPF lung tissue compared with normal tissue, with expression predominantly localized to bronchial epithelial cells. parathyroid hormone-related protein (PTHrP) translated from PTHLH was significantly increased in the bronchial epithelium of IPF patients and bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis mice. Furthermore, the paracrine peptide PTHrP
