Article in Lung, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
introductionPulmonary fibrosis (PF) is a progressive and fatal interstitial lung disease with limited treatment options. Macrophages, as the primary immune cells in the lungs, play a key role in the progression of pulmonary fibrosis. Salvinorin A (SA), a naturally occurring non-nitrogenous diterpenoid, exhibits anti-inflammatory and anti-neuropathic pain effects in various models. However, whether SA alleviates bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis by modulating macrophage function remains unclear.
methodsThis study aimed to investigate the therapeutic effects and mechanisms of SA on bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis in mice. A bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis mouse model was established, and SA was administered via intraperitoneal injection starting from day 7 post-modeling. The study further explored the effects of SA on M2 macrophage polarization and macrophage-to-myofibroblast transition (MMT) both in vivo and in vitro.
resultsSA treatment significantly alleviated the degree of pulmonary fibrosis and inflammatory response, improved lung tissue pathological structure, and reduced extracellular matrix deposition and the release of related inflammatory cytokines. Mechanistic studies revealed that SA effectively inhibited M2 macrophage polarization both in vivo and in vitro, as evidenced by the downregulation of marker molecules such as CD206, Arg1, Fizz1, and YM1. Additionally, SA also inhibited MMT, specifically manifested as a significant decrease in the proportion of α-SMA
conclusionThis study reveals that SA can effectively alleviate the progression of pulmonary fibrosis by dually inhibiting M2 macrophage polarization and the MMT process, providing important experimental evidence for SA as a potential therapeutic agent against pulmonary fibrosis.
