Angiotensin II Promotes Progressive Activation of Fibrogenic Periostin-Lineage Cells in Lung and Kidney.
Article in Cells, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Angiotensin II (AngII), the primary effector of the renin-angiotensin system, is essential for maintaining blood pressure and fluid-electrolyte homeostasis. However, elevated AngII levels are a feature of disease conditions such as heart failure and chronic kidney disease, where it is associated with pathological tissue remodeling and fibrosis. AngII-mediated fibrosis has been documented in multiple organs and is characterized by fibroblast expansion, myofibroblast differentiation, and excessive extracellular matrix deposition. Periostin has recently emerged as a marker of fibroblast activation. Notably, periostin expression is highly upregulated during fibrotic remodeling in the kidney and lung, which is strongly linked with impaired organ function. While AngII-induced activation of periostin-lineage (Postn
