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

Introduction: Transforming Growth Factor-β (TGF-β) has been implicated for its role in fibrosis and progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in both humans and rodents. Additionally, CKD is a common and progressive condition in canines, with striking pathological similarities to human disease. However, targeted therapies addressing fibrogenic mediators in dogs remain underexplored. Methods: We investigated the role of all three TGF-β isoforms (TGF-β1, TGF-β2, and TGF-β3) in CKD and renal fibrosis with Results: Treatment with cirevetmab led to robust neutralization of TGF-β1-induced SMAD phosphorylation and fibrotic marker changes. Notably, although cirevetmab exerted modest neutralization of TGF-β3-induced SMAD phosphorylation, this was not associated with a significant change in TGF-β3-induced fibrotic markers. Conversely, no neutralization of TGF-β2-induced activity was observed with cirevetmab. Discussion: Our results demonstrate that cirevetmab selectively neutralizes TGF-β1 and, to a lesser extent, TGF-β3-induced SMAD phosphorylation
