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 organoids (HOs) hold significant potential for constructing bioartificial liver construction, toxicology research, and liver failure therapies. However, challenges such as difficulties in induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) harvest and differentiation, safety concerns of tumor-derived matrices, and limited primary cell regulation hinder clinical applications. In this study, we developed a non-tumor-derived decellularized extracellular matrix (dECM) system with tunable mechanical properties and viscoelasticity to enhance stem cell proliferation and organoid functionality using thrombospondin-1 (THBS1). Nanoindentation and transcriptomic analysis revealed that THBS1 mediates adaptation and remodeling between organoids and ECM proteins, exhibiting native tissue-like viscoelasticity and up-regulated reprogramming transcriptional factors KLF4 and SOX2 via the YAP/TAZ pathway. Transplanting HOs presenting reprogramming effects into a 70 % hepatectomy model demonstrated improved liver regeneration, underscoring the potential of the THBS1-based dynamic ECM system in organoids manipulation and liver regeneration.
