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

Endothelial cell dysfunction and loss are key drivers of acute and chronic liver disease, underscoring a critical unmet need for liver vascular-targeted therapies. Liver sinusoidal endothelial cells are specialized endothelial cells that form a fenestrated microvascular niche regulating hepatocyte metabolism, immune homeostasis, and hepatic stellate cell activation. Repopulating this niche through transplantation of primary liver sinusoidal endothelial cells, endothelial progenitor cells, induced-pluripotent stem cell-derived liver sinusoidal endothelial cells, or engineered endothelial cells delivered within biomaterial aims to restore microvascular architecture, reestablish supportive angiocrine signaling, attenuate fibrosis, and promote liver regeneration. This review summarizes the biological rationale for endothelial cell-based therapy, compares cell sources and engineering strategies, evaluates cell delivery and engraftment approaches, and synthesizes preclinical evidence demonstrating therapeutic benefits across diverse animal models of liver injury. Finally, we highlight key translational challenges and propose future directions to accelerate the clinical development of endothelial cell-based therapies for liver disease.
