Distinct cAMP Regulation in Scleroderma Lung and Skin Myofibroblasts Governs Their Dedifferentiation via p38α Inhibition.

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
Fibrosis in systemic sclerosis/scleroderma (SSc) is characterized by the progressive accumulation and persistence in multiple organs of pathologic fibroblasts whose contractile properties and exuberant secretion of collagens promote tissue stiffness and scarring. Identifying a tractable mechanism for inactivating and possibly clearing these ultimate effector cells of progressive fibrosis, conventionally termed myofibroblasts (MFs), represents an appealing therapeutic strategy for patients with SSc. This can be accomplished by their phenotypic dedifferentiation, a process known to be promoted by the generation of the intracellular second messenger cyclic AMP (cAMP). Notably, however, the abilities of SSc fibroblasts derived from different tissues to generate cAMP-and dedifferentiate in response to it-have never been directly characterized or compared. Here we compared these two processes in lung and skin MFs derived from patients with SSc. While directly increasing intracellular cAMP induced comparable dedifferentiation of lung and skin SSc MFs, dedifferentiation in response to the well-recognized cAMP stimulus prostaglandin E
