Chemical approaches targeting the hurdles of hepatocyte transplantation: mechanisms, applications, and advances.
Review in Frontiers in cell and developmental biology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Hepatocyte transplantation (HTx) has been a novel cell-based therapy for severe liver diseases, as the donor livers for orthotopic liver transplantation are of great shortage. However, HTx has been confronted with two main hurdles: limited high-quality hepatocyte sources and low cell engraftment and repopulation rate. To cope with, researchers have investigated on various strategies, including small molecule drugs with unique advantages. Small molecules are promising chemical tools to modulate cell fate and function for generating high quality hepatocyte sources. In addition, endothelial barrier, immune responses, and low proliferative efficiency of donor hepatocytes mainly contributes to low cell engraftment and repopulation rate. Interfering these biological processes with small molecules is beneficial for improving cell engraftment and repopulation. In this review, we will discuss the applications and advances of small molecules in modulating cell differentiation and reprogramming for hepatocyte resources and in improving cell engraftment and repopulation as well as its underlying mechanisms.
