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

Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH), a progressive form of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), is becoming a serious global health threat. Both the innate and adaptive immune responses contribute to MASH-associated inflammation and fibrosis. Increasing evidence has shown that T-cell-mediated adaptive immunity triggers inflammation and fibrosis in MASH cells through cytotoxicity, cytokines, and other pro-inflammatory and pro-fibrotic mediators. This review focuses on the roles of different T cell subsets in MASH-associated liver inflammation and fibrosis. Factors related to inflammation and potential therapeutic approaches targeting T cells in MASH are also discussed.
