Precision-Cut Liver Slices: A Valuable Preclinical Tool for Translational Research in Liver Fibrosis.
Article in International journal of molecular sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Halting liver fibrosis progression is a key goal in treating liver disease, yet effective antifibrotic drugs remain unavailable. This study explores the use of precision-cut liver slices (PCLS) as an ex vivo model to evaluate new therapies. Researchers tested how different oxygen levels affect viability, tissue integrity, and inflammatory response in PCLS from healthy and fibrotic rats. Fibrotic PCLS maintained their pathological gene signature under 40% oxygen and responded to inflammatory stimuli, indicating preserved functionality. Exposure to high oxygen levels increased oxidative stress and pro-inflammatory gene expression. Cirrhotic PCLS showed early signs of reduced viability and the upregulation of fibrosis-related genes including
