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

Interferons (IFNs) are a pivotal class of cytokines with multifaceted roles in antiviral defense, immune regulation, and antitumor activity. Structural and functional distinctions among IFN types (I, II, and III) underlie their diverse biological effects. IFN production is initiated by pattern recognition receptor signaling, containing Toll-like receptors, RIG-I-like receptors, and the cGAS-STING axis, which activates downstream pathways, such as JAK-STAT, PI3K-AKT, NF-κB, and MAPK signaling pathways. These pathways critically influence the pathogenesis, progression, therapeutic management, and prognosis of liver diseases. This review delineates the mechanistic roles of IFN-associated signaling in viral hepatitis, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, alcohol-associated liver disease, liver fibrosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma. We further elucidate IFN-mediated regulatory networks in viral defense, metabolic dysregulation, immune responses, and inflammatory activation. By integrating these insights, the review provides a novel therapeutic direction to unravel context-specific IFN dynamics and address unmet needs in the management of liver diseases, thereby fostering personalized approaches to improve clinical outcomes.
