Von Willebrand factor exerts hepatoprotective effects in acute but not chronic cholestatic liver injury in mice.
Article in Toxicology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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.
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
Acute and chronic liver disease are associated with substantial alterations in the hemostatic system, including elevated levels of the platelet-adhesive protein von Willebrand factor (VWF). Carbon tetrachloride-induced liver fibrosis is reduced in VWF-deficient mice, but it is unclear if VWF plays a pathologic role in all settings of liver fibrosis. Indeed, several studies suggest an anti-fibrotic role for components of the hemostatic system, including platelets, in experimental settings of bile duct fibrosis. However, the role of VWF in this specific pathology has not been examined. We tested the hypothesis that VWF exerts hepatoprotective effects in experimental bile duct injury. Wild-type and VWF-deficient (VWF
