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 global burden of liver diseases continues to rise, encompassing diverse pathologies such as viral hepatitis, alcohol-associated liver disease (ALD), metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). In recent years, TNFR1-associated death domain protein (TRADD), a pivotal adaptor molecule in the TNF signaling pathway, has been found to play a dual regulatory role in the pathogenesis of liver diseases. Through its death domain, TRADD binds to TNFR1 and dynamically recruits downstream factors (e.g., TRAF2, RIPK1, FADD) to form Complex I or IIa, thereby activating pro-survival or pro-apoptotic signals that dictate hepatocyte fate and modulate the inflammatory microenvironment. This review systematically summarizes the molecular structure and functional networks of TRADD, along with its mechanistic roles in liver diseases: in HCC, TRADD expression correlates with tumor differentiation and is regulated by miRNA targeting; in ALD and MASLD, TRADD-mediated apoptosis is closely linked to fibrotic progression; and in acute liver injury, TRADD signaling is modulated by factors such as HO-1 to mitigate damage. Furthermore, TRADD inhibitors and antisense oligonucleotides demonstrate therapeutic potential. This review highlights the clinical translational value of TRADD as a diagnostic, therapeutic, and prognostic biomarker for liver diseases, providing a theoretical foundation for future precision medicine strategies.
