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

Liver repopulation by transplanted normal hepatocytes has been described in a number of experimental settings. Extensive repopulation can also occur from the selective proliferation of endogenous normal hepatocytes, both in experimental animals and in the human liver. This review highlights the intriguing association between clinical and experimental conditions related to liver repopulation and an increased risk for development of hepatocellular carcinoma. It is suggested that any microenvironment that is able to sustain the clonal growth of normal transplanted (or endogenous) hepatocytes is also geared to select for the emergence of rare resistant cells with an altered phenotype. Whereas the first pathway leads to liver repopulation with normal histology, the latter results in the growth of focal proliferative lesions and carries an increased risk of neoplastic disease. The implications of this association are discussed, both in terms of pathogenetic significance and possible therapeutic exploitation.
