Extracellular Vesicles in Liver Fibrosis: Pathogenic Messengers, Diagnostic Biomarkers, and Therapeutic Nanovectors.
Review in Pharmaceutics, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Liver fibrosis (LF) is the final common pathological outcome of various chronic liver diseases. Advanced LF can progress to severe complications, such as cirrhosis, liver failure, and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Currently, liver transplantation remains the main clinical treatment for advanced LF, but its application is limited by donor availability and unavoidable complications. Extracellular vesicles (EVs), nanoscale particles actively released by hepatic cells, including hepatocytes, hepatic stellate cells (HSCs), and macrophages), circulate in bodily fluids carrying cell-specific cargoes (e.g., RNAs, proteins). EVs mediate intercellular communication via their specific cargo profiles and contribute to the progression in LF. Increasing evidence indicates that tracking changes in the quantity and composition of EVs in LF can aid in disease diagnosis and prognosis prediction. This review discusses the pathological role of EVs in LF development and their potential as biomarkers and therapeutic targets, and provides new perspectives for future research and treatment advances.
