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

Connective tissue disease-associated interstitial lung disease (CTD-ILD) is a systemic autoimmune disease with high morbidity and hazard, characterized by progressive pulmonary inflammation and fibrosis. The monomer formulation of polydatin and curcumin (PD + Cur) for lung injury in CTD-ILD was optimized from Curcumae Longae Rhizoma (Curcuma Longa L.) and Polygoni Cuspidati Rhizoma Et Radix (Polygonum cuspidatum Sieb. et Zucc.). Mice with CTD-ILD-like lung injury were established by a single intratracheal drip of bleomycin. After intervening in model mice for 4 weeks, PD + Cur attenuated alveolar atrophy, fibrillar collagen formation, and thickened alveolar septa in the lung, improved serum biomarkers TOLLIP, MUC5B, KL-6, SP-D, and RCN3, and suppressed serum immunoinflammatory factors IL-6, CCL-18, and SF. The transcriptome sequencing showed that PD + Cur ameliorated CTD-ILD mainly by regulating aberrant immunoinflammation, which was further confirmed by proteomics that the PI3K/AKT/TGF-β pathway was a key pathway. Further, PD + Cur was found to affect amino acid metabolism in the serum significantly. The B-type receptor for GABA (GABBR) agonist baclofen was further found to attenuate CTD-ILD-like lung injury and modulate PI3K/AKT/TGF-β signaling. However, the inhibition of AKT, transforming growth factor beta receptor type 3 (TGFβR3), a key indicator downstream of PI3-kinase subunit p85-alpha (PI3KR1), by PD + Cur was reversed after intervention with the GABBR receptor inhibitor CGP52432. PD + Cur has an ameliorative effect on CTD-ILD-like lung injury by targeting GABBR to modulate the PI3K/AKT/TGF-β pathway.
