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

Alcoholic liver disease (ALD) poses a significant health challenge, so comprehensive research efforts to improve our understanding and treatment strategies are needed. However, the development of effective treatments is hindered by the limitation of existing liver disease models. Liver organoids, characterized by their cellular complexity and three-dimensional (3D) tissue structure closely resembling the human liver, hold promise as ideal models for liver disease research. In this study, we use a meticulously designed protocol involving the differentiation of human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) into liver organoids. This process incorporates a precise combination of cytokines and small molecule compounds within a 3D culture system to guide the differentiation process. Subsequently, these differentiated liver organoids are subject to ethanol treatment to induce ALD, thus establishing a disease model. A rigorous assessment through a series of experiments reveals that this model partially recapitulates key pathological features observed in clinical ALD, including cellular mitochondrial damage, elevated cellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, fatty liver, and hepatocyte necrosis. In addition, this model offers potential use in screening drugs for ALD treatment. Overall, the liver organoid model of ALD, which is derived from hiPSC differentiation, has emerged as an invaluable platform for advancing our understanding and management of ALD in clinical settings.
