Liver transplant-facilitated CD161
Article in Nature communications, 2025. 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
Mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells exert multifaceted effects such as anti-microbial activity, tissue repair, and pro-fibrotic effects across various disease settings. Nonetheless, their role in liver injury and hemostasis remains debated. Here, we report a significant depletion and functional dysregulation of MAIT cells, which is associated with disease severity and accumulated bile acids in HBV-infected patients with varying degree of liver injury. Liver transplantation facilitates a gradual recovery of recipient-originated MAIT cells. Transcriptome analysis reveals enhanced MAIT cell activation, while TCR mining demonstrates clonotype overlap between circulating and hepatic MAIT cells during significant liver injury. TCR-activated MAIT cells from transplant recipients display higher protective capacity but reduced pathological potential than those from liver failure patients. Compromised recovery of MAIT cells is linked to post-transplantation complications, whereas prompt recovery predicates favorable clinical outcome. These findings underscore the intricate interplay between MAIT cells and the hepatic environment, highlighting MAIT cells as potential therapeutic targets and sensitive predictors for clinical outcome in individuals experiencing liver failure and post liver transplantation.
