Mesenchymal stem cell therapy for end-stage liver disease: adversity and opportunity.
Review in Stem cell research & therapy, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
End-stage liver disease (ESLD) is one of the predominant diseases contributing to high morbidity and mortality worldwide, with etiologies including alcoholic liver disease, viral hepatitis, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, and metabolic-associated liver disease. Currently, liver transplantation remains the only effective treatment, however, its clinical application is significantly limited by donor shortages, immune rejection, and high medical costs. Among the five types of stem cells that have been experimentally applied to liver diseases, mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have emerged as the most extensively studied, with the largest number of experimental and clinical research platforms worldwide. This review compiles findings from 25 preclinical and clinical studies on MSCs in the treatment of ESLD, aiming to elucidate the core mechanisms of action and then outline both the challenges in MSC clinical translation and the novel opportunities arising from cutting-edge research.
