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 robust regenerative capacity. However, the mechanisms underlying this process remain unclear. Numerous studies on liver regeneration have been previously conducted using partial hepatectomy models, which may not fully represent acute liver injury with inflammation and necrosis. This is commonly observed in the majority of clinical cases. In this study, we conducted a single-cell RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) analysis of liver regeneration in acetaminophen-treated mice using publicly available data. We found that two distinct populations of regenerative cells simultaneously appeared within the same regenerative process. The two populations significantly differed in terms of cell morphology, differentiation, localization, proliferation rate, and signal response. Moreover, one of the populations was induced by contact with necrotic tissue and demonstrated a higher proliferative capacity with a dedifferentiated feature. These findings provide new insights into liver regeneration and therapeutic strategies for liver failure.
