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

Right ventricular (RV) pressure loading induces RV profibrotic signaling and fibrosis associated with RV dysfunction. RV decorin protein levels are decreased in patients with chronic RV pressure loading. RV decorin protein levels are also decreased in 4 animal models of mechanical RV pressure loading and pulmonary arterial hypertension. Human cardiac fibroblasts overexpressing decorin show diminished collagen-1 secretion in response to mechanical or chemical profibrotic stress while decorin knockout human cardiac fibroblasts show increased collagen-1 secretion in response to stress. Downregulation of decorin may play a key role in upregulating transforming growth factor-β1 profibrotic signaling and fibrosis that contribute to RV dysfunction in RV pressure loading.
