Nintedanib Induces Mesenchymal-to-Epithelial Transition and Reduces Subretinal Fibrosis Through Metabolic Reprogramming.
Article in International journal of molecular sciences, 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
This study aimed to investigate the tyrosine kinase inhibitor Nintedanib and its potential role in reversing epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) induced by transforming growth factor beta 2 (TGF-β2) in retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells, along with its therapeutic potential using a mouse model of subretinal fibrosis. We hypothesized that the blockade of angiogenesis promoting and fibrosis inducing signaling using the receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor Nintedanib (OfevTM) can prevent or reverse EMT both in vitro and in our in vivo model of subretinal fibrosis. Primary human retinal pigment epithelial cells (phRPE) and adult retinal pigment epithelial cell line (ARPE-19) cells were treated with TGF-β210 ng/mL for two days followed by four days of Nintedanib (1 µM) incubation. Epithelial and mesenchymal phenotypes were assessed by morphological examination, quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction(qPCR) (
