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 (CLD) represents a major global public health challenge, necessitating a systematic understanding of its complex immunopathological mechanisms. This review comprehensively summarizes the groundbreaking applications of cutting-edge technologies-including single-cell sequencing, spatial transcriptomics, and organoid models-in chronic liver disease immunology research: Single-cell sequencing resolves immune cell heterogeneity at unprecedented resolution, identifies rare cell subsets, and reveals dynamic changes and regulatory networks through multi-omics integration; Spatial transcriptomics complements this by mapping immune-stromal interactions within structural contexts such as the portal tract, fibrotic septa, and tumor niches, uncovering spatially organized immune evasion mechanisms and microenvironmental remodeling; Organoid technology constructs humanized liver-immune models that recapitulate disease-specific features-such as fibrosis, steatohepatitis, and hepatocellular carcinoma-enabling mechanistic validation, drug screening, and individualized therapeutic exploration. The synergistic integration of multi-omics profiling, spatial mapping, and organoid modeling is driving a paradigm shift in chronic liver disease immunology-transitioning from static cellular descriptions to spatiotemporal mechanism decoding, and from population-level insights to individualized pathophysiology and treatment prediction. These advanced approaches establish a technological foundation for building precision immunotherapeutic strategies tailored to spatiotemporal regulation of the liver immune microenvironment.
