Increased Intrahepatic Mast Cell Density in Liver Cirrhosis Due to MASLD and Other Non-Infectious Chronic Liver Diseases.
Article in International journal of molecular sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) has become highly prevalent worldwide, and its pathogenesis and progression mechanisms remain incompletely understood. An increased activation of innate immune cells in the liver contributes to hepatic fibrogenesis via a chronic loop of inflammation and regeneration processes. Among them are mast cells (MCs), whose role in hepatic cirrhosis secondary to MASLD remains poorly studied. Our aim was to evaluate differences in MC density in cirrhotic liver tissue among patients with MASLD and other chronic liver disease etiologies. For this, a retrospective study of MC count was performed in cirrhotic liver explants obtained from MASLD, alcohol-related liver disease (ALD), and autoimmune hepatitis (AIH). We included a control group of subjects without liver damage. Tryptase-positive MCs were identified by indirect immunofluorescence and quantified as MC density per low-power field (MC/LPF). Group differences were analyzed using the Kruskal-Wallis test with Dunn's multiple comparisons, considering
