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: Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), a progressive fibrotic interstitial lung disease (ILD), has a poor prognosis, and effective drugs, including nintedanib and pirfenidone, are limited. Therefore, developing new drugs for treating pulmonary fibrosis is of the highest priority. The inhibition of cellular autophagy in lung fibroblasts is an important mechanism involved in pulmonary fibrosis, and the PI3K/Akt/mTORC1 pathway is responsible for modulating the level of intracellular autophagy. As a result, copanlisib, a pan-class I PI3K inhibitor, has promise for preventing pulmonary fibrosis by ameliorating cellular autophagy. This study aimed to evaluate the effect and underlying mechanism of copanlisib in pulmonary fibrosis. Methods: In this study, we evaluated the antifibrotic effect of copanlisib by using a mouse model of bleomycin (BLM)-induced pulmonary fibrosis for Results: As a result, copanlisib markedly alleviated BLM-induced collagen deposition and improved pulmonary function and ventilation volume Conclusions: In conclusion, copanlisib is a promising candidate as a treatment for pulmonary fibrosis.
