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

introductionPulmonary fibrosis (PF) is a chronic pulmonary disorder with unknown etiology and an irreversible course. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) possesses promising clinical benefits for PF treatment through a multi-component and multi-target approach. This study evaluates the efficacy of Yangyin Yifei Tongluo Wan (YF), a traditional formulation, in the treatment of PF, and further explores the underlying mechanism.

methodsA bleomycin (BLM)-induced PF mouse model was established. Mice were administered with low-, medium-, and high-dose YF (1.5, 3, and 6 g/kg/d, respectively). The fibrosis degree of mouse lung tissues was evaluated by morphometric measurements and hydroxyproline (HYP) analysis. Network pharmacology-based bioinformatics were employed for constructing a network involving components, targets, and disease, and YF's potential mechanism and molecular targets for PF therapy were explored. This was further validated by TUNEL staining, Western blot, RT-qPCR, and ELISA in BLM-treated mice.

resultsYF could relieve PF in BLM-treated mice in a dose-dependent manner, evidenced by a notable decrease in collagen deposition, and collagen I and III, HYP, fibronectin, vimentin, and α-SMA expressions. Network pharmacology revealed that JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway-mediated alveolar epithelial cell apoptosis may be a potential therapeutic target for YF in treating PF. In vivo assays confirmed that YF's antifibrosis effect on BLM-induced PF was ascribed to the suppression of alveolar epithelial cell apoptosis and disruption of the JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway. DISCUSSION: YF can block alveolar epithelial cell apoptosis through inactivation of the JAK2/STAT3 signaling, subsequently enhancing the resolution of PF.

conclusionYF may be a promising therapeutic candidate for PF treatment.
