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 irreversible fibrosis, radiological honeycombing and a progressive decline in pulmonary function. Although antifibrotic agents such as pirfenidone and nintedanib can slow disease progression, these agents fail to reverse established structural damage, underscoring the urgent need for novel therapeutic strategies. Notably, the WNT signaling pathway has been implicated in fibrogenesis, suggesting it may represent a promising therapeutic target in IPF. The present study aimed to elucidate the role of WNT signaling in IPF pathogenesis, and to evaluate the antifibrotic and anti-inflammatory effects of the WNT inhibitors ETC-159 and LGK-974
