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

Extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins, known as the matrisome, have long been recognized for their structural roles and their control of cell phenotypes in health and disease. The broad range of biological activities mediated by the ECM has been further expanded with the discovery that fragments released upon ECM remodeling are also bioactive with functions that can differ from those of their parent proteins. This review provides an overview of the latest findings describing the roles of major bioactive fragments from collagens I, IV, VI, and XVIII in various physiological and pathological contexts affecting heart, lung, adipose, and even brain tissues. Angiogenesis, inflammation, fibrosis, and cancer are the most frequent processes regulated by collagen fragments. Perspectives on how these bioactive fragments could impact translational research as drug candidates, drug targets, and biomarkers are also discussed together with their biomedical applications.
