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

The liver and heart are closely interconnected organs, and their bidirectional interaction plays a central role in cardiometabolic disease. In this review, we summarize current evidence linking liver dysfunction-particularly metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease, alcohol-associated liver disease, and cirrhosis-with an increased risk of heart failure and other cardiovascular diseases. We discuss how these liver conditions contribute to cardiac remodeling, systemic inflammation, and hemodynamic stress and how cardiac dysfunction in turn impairs liver perfusion and promotes hepatic injury. Particular attention is given to the molecular mediators of liver-heart communication, including hepatokines and cardiokines, as well as the emerging role of advanced research methodologies, including omics integration, proximity labeling, and organ-on-chip platforms, that are redefining our understanding of interorgan cross talk. By integrating mechanistic insights with translational tools, this review aims to support the development of multiorgan therapeutic strategies for cardiometabolic disease.
