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

Acute liver failure (ALF) is a life-threatening disease characterized by the rapid development of hepatocyte death and a systemic inflammatory response, which leads to high mortality. Despite the prevention of ALF complications, therapeutic effectiveness remains limited because of the rapid disease progression. Thus, there is a need to explore various therapeutic approaches. Currently, the only effective treatment is liver transplantation; However, the lack of donors, surgical complications, immunosuppression, and high medical costs limit its clinical application. Recently, mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been found to exert hepatoprotective effects in ALF through suppression of inflammation, immunoregulation, promotion of mitosis, anti-apoptosis effects, and alleviation of the metabolic and oxidative stress imbalance. In this review, we summarize the advantages and disadvantages of MSCs from different sources and their molecular mechanisms in ALF treatment, along with future perspectives that may provide guidance to improve the current status of MSCs therapy for ALF.
