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

Background The liver is a complex organ with a variety of tissue components that require a precise architecture for optimal function of metabolic and detoxification processes. As a result of the delicate orchestration required between the various hepatic tissues, it is not surprising that impairment of hepatic function can be caused by a variety of factors leading to chronic liver disease. Results Despite the growing rate of chronic liver disease, there are currently few effective treatment options besides orthotopic liver transplantation. Better therapeutic options reside in the potential for genetic and cellular therapies that promote progenitor cell activation aiding de novo epithelial and vascular regeneration, cell replacement, or population of bioartificial hepatic devices. In order to explore this area of new therapeutic potential, it is crucial to understand the factors that promote hepatic function through regulating cell identities and tissue architecture. Conclusions In this commentary, we review the signals regulating liver cell fates during development and regeneration and highlight the importance of patterning the hepatic vascular systems to set the groundwork for the macro and micro hepatic architecture of the epithelium.
