The Intricate Relationship Between Pulmonary Fibrosis and Thrombotic Pathology: A Narrative Review.
Review in Cells, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is associated with a significantly increased risk of thrombotic events and mortality. This review explores the complex bidirectional relationship between pulmonary fibrosis and thrombosis, discussing epidemiological evidence, pathogenetic mechanisms, and therapeutic implications, with a particular focus on the emerging role of extracellular vesicles (EVs) as crucial mediators linking fibrosis and coagulation. Coagulation factors directly promote fibrosis, while fibrosis itself activates thrombotic pathways. Retrospective studies suggest the benefits of anticoagulants in IPF, but prospective trials have faced challenges. Novel anticoagulants, profibrinolytic therapies, and agents targeting protease-activated receptors (PARs) show promise in preclinical studies and early clinical trials. EVs have emerged as key players in the pathogenesis of interstitial lung diseases (ILDs), serving as vehicles for intercellular communication and contributing to both fibrosis and coagulation. EV-based approaches, such as EV modulation, engineered EVs as drug delivery vehicles, and mesenchymal stem cell-derived EVs, represent promising therapeutic strategies. Ongoing research should focus on optimizing risk-benefit profiles, identifying predictive biomarkers, evaluating combination strategies targeting thrombotic, fibrotic, and inflammatory pathways, and advancing the understanding of EVs in ILDs to develop targeted interventions.
