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

Sequential progression from chronic liver disease to fibrosis and to cirrhosis culminates in neoplasia in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The preneoplastic setting of the cirrhotic background provides a conducive environment for cellular transformation. The role of classical inflammation in cirrhosis is widely known, but the exact mechanism linking inflammation and cancer remains elusive. Recent studies have elucidated roles for NF-κB, STAT3 and JNK as possible missing links. In addition, the "inflammasome" (a multiprotein complex and sensor of cellular damage) is a recently identified player in this field. The hallmarks of cirrhosis include necroinflammation, deposition of extracellular matrix and shortening of telomeres, leading to senescence and regeneration. Additionally, the accumulation of genetic/epigenetic changes propels atypical cells toward a malignant phenotype. This review provides recent information on the classical inflammatory pathway, together with a spotlight on inflammasomes and the immunomodulatory role of cellular senescence during the progression from cirrhosis to HCC. Moreover, lacunae in the current knowledge were identified and key questions raised on whether the observed adaptive responses are beneficial or detrimental to tissue homeostasis in a complex organ like liver.
