Lymphatic system in the liver: a new frontier in liver physiology and oncology.
Review in Medical molecular morphology, 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
The lymphatic system in the liver has long been regarded as a passive transport route responsible for interstitial fluid drainage. However, recent research has redefined it as a "new frontier in hepatology," playing active and multifaceted roles in liver disease progression, ascites formation, and tumor immune responses. In malignancies such as liver cancer, lymphatic vessels function as conduits for lymph node metastasis, while simultaneously serving as pathways for tumor antigens and tumor-induced inflammatory cells, potentially contributing to the modulation of the immune microenvironment. This review first outlines the latest findings regarding the lymphatic system in non-neoplastic tissues. Next, we examine recent studies investigating the impact of lymphatic vessels on cancer progression. Furthermore, we focus specifically on the hepatic lymphatic system in both non-neoplastic and cancerous states. Finally, we conclude by discussing the potential role of hepatic lymphatic vessels in regulating the tumor microenvironment in liver cancer.
