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

Pulmonary fibrosis is a progressive interstitial lung disease associated with aging. The pathogenesis of pulmonary fibrosis remains unclear, however, alveolar epithelial cell injury, myofibroblast activation, and extracellular matrix (ECM) accumulation are recognized as key contributors. Moreover, recent studies have implicated cellular senescence, endothelial-mesenchymal transition (EndMT), and epigenetic modifications in the pathogenesis of fibrotic diseases. Various signaling pathways regulate pulmonary fibrosis, including the TGF-β, Notch, Wnt, Hedgehog, and mTOR pathways. Among these, the TGF-β pathway is extensively studied, while the Notch pathway has emerged as a recent research focus. The Notch pathway influences the fibrotic process by modulating immune cell differentiation (e.g., macrophages, lymphocytes), inhibiting autophagy, and promoting interstitial transformation. Consequently, inhibiting Notch signaling represents a promising approach to mitigating pulmonary fibrosis. In this review, we discuss the role of Notch signaling pathway in pulmonary fibrosis, aiming to offer insights for future therapeutic investigations.
