Inhibition of Hsp90 Counteracts the Established Experimental Dermal Fibrosis Induced by Bleomycin.
Article in Biomedicines, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 6 papers.
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
Our previous study demonstrated that heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) is overexpressed in the involved skin of patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc) and in experimental dermal fibrosis. Pharmacological inhibition of Hsp90 prevented the stimulatory effects of transforming growth factor-beta on collagen synthesis and the development of dermal fibrosis in three preclinical models of SSc. In the next step of the preclinical analysis, herein, we aimed to evaluate the efficacy of an Hsp90 inhibitor, 17-dimethylaminoethylamino-17-demethoxygeldanamycin (17-DMAG), in the treatment of established experimental dermal fibrosis induced by bleomycin. Treatment with 17-DMAG demonstrated potent antifibrotic and anti-inflammatory properties: it decreased dermal thickening, collagen content, myofibroblast count, expression of transforming growth factor beta receptors, and pSmad3-positive cell counts, as well as leukocyte infiltration and systemic levels of crucial cytokines/chemokines involved in the pathogenesis of SSc, compared to vehicle-treated mice. 17-DMAG effectively prevented further progression and may induce regression of established bleomycin-induced dermal fibrosis to an extent comparable to nintedanib. These findings provide further evidence of the vital role of Hsp90 in the pathophysiology of SSc and characterize it as a potential target for the treatment of fibrosis with translational implications due to the availability of several Hsp90 inhibitors in clinical trials for other indications.
