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

Cardiac fibrosis significantly contributes to heart failure progression, yet no currently available agents directly target this pathological process. The Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway has emerged as a key mediator of fibrosis, but its upstream inhibition may have unintended broader effects. In this study, we evaluated the therapeutic potential of LF3, a 4-thioureido-benzenesulfonamide derivative that disrupts the downstream β-catenin/TCF4 interaction, in mitigating cardiac fibrosis and investigated the underlying mechanism. Male mice were subjected to cardiac fibrosis by continuous angiotensin II (Ang II) infusion (1.44 mg/kg/day) for 3 weeks using osmotic minipumps and were treated with LF3 (40 mg/kg/day, intraperitoneal). Mouse cardiac fibroblasts were stimulated with 10
