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

Retinoic acid (RA) serves as a metabolic intermediate of vitamin A. It plays a crucial physiological role in regulating cell proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, embryonic development, and immunomodulation. Once vitamin A enters the body in the form of retinol, it undergoes conversion into RA through the intestinal epithelium and liver. Subsequently, it interacts with retinoic acid receptors and retinoid X receptors within the cell nucleus, thereby regulating gene expression. Throughout liver development, RA exerts precise temporal control, stimulating liver growth, inducing RALDH2 expression in liver somatic epithelial cells, and influencing hepatocyte differentiation. Recent studies have consistently demonstrated the indispensable connection between RA deficiency and the development of liver diseases, including nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, chronic hepatitis, liver fibrosis, and liver tumors. Studying the mechanisms underlying the relationship between RA and disease can enhance our understanding and improve disease treatment. This paper provides a comprehensive review of the role of RA signaling in liver development and liver diseases.
