Review in World journal of gastroenterology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.

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

Chronic liver disease results in a response resembling "wound healing", also known as fibrosis, resulting in the progressive accumulation of connective tissue. Excessive fibrogenesis that results in the disruption of intercellular connections, interactions, and extracellular matrix composition are features of the fibrotic process mediated by various cell types and chemical mediators such as transforming growth factor-β. Redox-sensitive processes are major contributors to controlling this inflammatory and pro-fibrogenic cytokine's production and synthesis. Other essential hepatic fibrogenesis activities, such as the activation of stellate cells, the expression of metalloproteinases and their inhibitors can also be linked to generation of reactive oxygen species and lipid peroxidation products, which are implicated in development and progression of fibrosis.
