1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

The liver has a unique ability to regenerate to meet the body's metabolic needs, even following acute or chronic injuries. The cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying normal liver regeneration have been well investigated to improve organ transplantation outcomes. Once liver regeneration is impaired, pathological regeneration occurs, and the underlying cellular and molecular mechanisms require further investigations. Nevertheless, a plethora of cytokines and growth factor-mediated pathways have been reported to modulate physiological and pathological liver regeneration. Regenerative mitogens play an essential role in hepatocyte proliferation. Accelerator mitogens in synergism with regenerative ones promote liver regeneration following hepatectomy. Finally, terminator mitogens restore the proliferating status of hepatocytes to a differentiated and quiescent state upon completion of regeneration. Chronic loss of hepatocytes, which can manifest in chronic liver disorders of any etiology, often has undesired structural consequences, including fibrosis, cirrhosis, and liver neoplasia due to the unregulated proliferation of remaining hepatocytes. In fact, any impairment in the physiological function of the terminator mitogens results in the progression of pathological liver regeneration. In the current review, we intend to highlight the updated cellular and molecular mechanisms involved in liver regeneration and discuss the impairments in central regulating mechanisms responsible for pathological liver regeneration.
