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

The poor prognosis of chronic liver disease (CLD) generates the need to investigate the evolving mechanisms of disease progression, thus disclosing therapeutic targets before development of clinical complications. Considering the central role of liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSECs) in pre-neoplastic advanced CLD, the present study aimed at investigating the progression of CLD from an endothelial holistic perspective. RNAseq defined the transcriptome of primary LSECs isolated from three pre-clinical models of advanced CLD, during the progression of the disease, and from fresh human cirrhotic tissue. At each stage of the disease, the effects of LSECs secretome on neighboring cells and proteomic analysis of LSECs-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) were also determined. CLD was associated with deep common modifications in the transcriptome of LSECs in the pre-clinical models. Pathway enrichment analysis showed predominance of genes related with pro-oncogenic, cellular communication processes, and EVs biogenesis during CLD progression. Crosstalk experiments revealed endothelial EVs as potent angiocrine effectors. The proteome of LSECs EVs showed stage-specific signatures, including over-expression of tropomyosin-1. Proof-of-principle experiments treating cirrhotic HSCs with recombinant tropomyosin-1 suggested de-activating effects. Our data provide the basis for discovering novel biomarkers and therapeutic targets for new disease-modifying treatments for patients with advanced CLD.
