Quantitative 3D Imaging of Mouse and Human Intrahepatic Bile Ducts in Homeostasis and Liver Injury.
Article in The American journal of pathology, 2026. 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
Intrahepatic bile ducts (IHBDs) form a complex hierarchical network essential for liver function. The remodeling and expansion of this network during ductular reaction (DR) are hallmarks of liver disease that can be key indicators of disease severity. Conventional histology fails to capture the full extent of IHBD structural changes after injury due to the complex three-dimensional (3D) organization of the IHBD network that limits understanding of DR, especially in human tissue. A major barrier to leveraging 3D imaging as a diagnostic tool is the absence of standardized pipelines for IHBD imaging and analysis. This work establishes a robust 3D IHBD imaging and analysis workflow, applying it to both mouse and human liver tissues. This pipeline enables quantification of tissue and individual duct ("segment") level features and identifies features of invasive and noninvasive DR. In mouse models, we uncover regional phenotypes, including IHBD diverticula-like structures after duct blockage and the formation of anastomosed clusters after hepatocellular injury. Finally, this 3D imaging and analysis workflow is applied to quantify IHBD networks in human liver tissue. This work deepens our understanding of IHBD architecture in homeostasis and injury, laying the groundwork for advanced phenotyping of IHBD morphologies in mice and humans with relevance to next-generation experimental and diagnostic approaches to liver disease.
