Integrin α8 is a useful cell surface marker of alveolar lipofibroblasts.
Article in Respiratory research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundRecent advances in comprehensive gene analysis revealed the heterogeneity of mouse lung fibroblasts. However, direct comparisons between these subpopulations are limited due to challenges in isolating target subpopulations without gene-specific reporter mouse lines. In addition, the properties of lung lipofibroblasts remain unclear, particularly regarding the appropriate cell surface marker and the niche capacity for alveolar epithelial cell type 2 (AT2), an alveolar tissue stem cell.
