An Overview of In Vitro Models of Alcohol-Related Hepatocellular Carcinoma.
Review in Cancer medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundChronic and excessive alcohol consumption is the leading cause of death due to chronic liver disease. Alcohol-related liver disease (ALD) encompasses a broad spectrum of clinical and pathological features, ranging from asymptomatic and reversible pathologies to hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), a highly prevalent and deadly liver cancer. Indeed, alcohol consumption is one of the main worldwide etiologies of HCC. However, the impact of alcohol consumption on HCC pathophysiology and the associated mechanisms remains unclear. Thus, in vitro alcohol-related HCC models are essential for addressing this issue and for assessing new molecular markers of this disease. In this review, we discuss the current in vitro models of alcohol-related HCC. Our global overview demonstrates the lack of uniformity regarding HCC cell lines, alcohol concentration, and duration of alcohol exposure among existing models. Despite efforts to model alcohol exposure effectively that demonstrate enhancement of cancer cell transformation markers and HCC aggressiveness following, respectively, short-term and long-term alcohol exposure, current in vitro models possess numerous limitations.
aimThis review highlights future challenges in the development of more integrated and representative models of the complex pathophysiology of alcohol-related HCC.
