Location matters: cellular heterogeneity in the hepatic lobule and hepatocellular carcinoma.
Article in American journal of physiology. Gastrointestinal and liver physiology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Tumor heterogeneity is a hallmark of cancer but a challenging problem to dissect mechanistically. Less recognized is that cells within normal tissues are also remarkably diverse. Hepatocytes are a great example because their spatial positioning and the local microenvironment govern their genetic heterogeneity. Recent studies show that primary liver tumors display heterogeneity similar to that observed in the normal tissue providing clues to the cellular precursor of the tumor and how variations in the lobule microenvironment support tumor formation and aggressiveness. Identifying the principles that control cellular diversity in a healthy liver may highlight potential mechanisms driving hepatic tumor heterogeneity.
