The Non-Canonical ChREBPα Activity Suppresses the Activation of Hepatic Stellate Cells and Liver Fibrosis by Antagonizing TGF-β-E2F1 Axis.
Article in Advanced science (Weinheim, Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Sustained activation of hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) drives liver fibrosis in response to chronic liver injury and inflammation. It is reported that profibrogenic signals released from stressed/injured hepatocytes evoke fibrogenic responses in HSCs. However, intrahepatocyte players that modulate such cell-to-cell communications remain poorly defined. In this study, hepatic ChREBPα is found to be reduced in mouse models of chemical-induced liver fibrosis as well as in three groups of human patients with liver fibrosis. Chrebpα-LKO mice are highly sensitive to both chemical (CCL4 and TAA) and bile duct ligation (BDL)-induced liver injury and developed more advanced liver fibrosis without affecting liver lipid content. Hepatocyte ChREBPα overexpression suppressed the activation of HSCs in an in vitro medium transfer experiment in part via inhibiting the expression of profibrogenic factors THBS1 and CTGF. RNA-Seq analysis revealed that E2F1, a novel effector of TGFβ-mediated fibrogenic pathway, is highly induced in the liver of Chrebpα-LKO mice. Hepatic knockdown of E2F1 ameliorated the increased liver fibrosis in mice with hepatic Chrebpα deficiency while reducing the expression of hepatic THBS1 and CTGF.
