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 fibrosis is an outcome of many chronic diseases, and often results in cirrhosis, liver failure, and portal hypertension. Liver transplantation is the only treatment available for patients with advanced stages of liver cirrhosis. Therefore, alternative methods are required to develop new strategies for anti-fibrotic therapy. Various kinds of hepatocyte injuries cause inflammatory reactions, which lead to activation of hepatic stellate cells (HSCs). Continuous liver injuries maintain these activated HSCs, and they are called as myofibroblasts. Myofibroblasts proliferate in response to various kinds of cytokines and produce extracellular matrix proteins (ECMs). Myofibroblasts undergo apoptosis and inactivation when the underlying causative etiologies are cleared. Here, we describe the current knowledge of targeting the activated HSCs as a therapeutic target for liver fibrosis.
