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

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a progressive and fatal interstitial lung disease characterized by excessive extracellular matrix (ECM) deposition and irreversible alveolar destruction. Despite advances in antifibrotic therapies, the underlying pathogenic mechanisms remain incompletely understood. Recent multiomic studies have revealed that IPF arises from aberrant communication among epithelial, mesenchymal, immune, and vascular cells within the fibrotic microenvironment, rather than from isolated cellular dysfunction. However, the dynamic intercellular networks and spatiotemporal regulation driving disease progression remain poorly defined. This review integrates recent single-cell RNA sequencing and spatial transcriptomic discoveries to delineate key pathogenic cell populations-including aberrant basaloids and IPF-related alveolar type 2 cells (IR_AT2), CTHRC1
