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

Studies have shown that extracellular vesicles play a crucial role in maintaining homeostasis in healthy individuals and influencing disease pathology in patients. However, the mechanisms by which exosomes facilitate liver regeneration following portal vein ligation (PVL) remain unclear. Our previous research highlighted the critical role of the Notch signaling pathway in liver regeneration after PVL. Nevertheless, the involvement of liver-derived exosomes in actively promoting regeneration through the YAP-Notch signaling pathway and their role in cell proliferation have not been fully explored. In this study, we demonstrate that exosomes from hypertrophic liver tissue can activate the YAP-Notch signaling pathway both in vitro and in vivo, thereby promoting liver regeneration after PVL. Specifically, we show that these exosomes carry JAG1, which activates Notch signaling in recipient cells, a process that is inhibited by JAG1 antibodies. Co-immunoprecipitation and mass spectrometry (Co-IP-MS) identified JAG1 interactors, confirming that ALG-2 plays a critical role in linking SEC31A and Alix to facilitate the intracellular transport and sorting of JAG1 onto exosomes. Additionally, we reveal that YAP induces hepatocyte reprogramming into Sox9
