Hypoxia in MASLD: a spatial determinant of the pathogenesis.
Review in Trends in molecular medicine, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
The liver has a unique microarchitecture, with hepatic sinusoids receiving blood from the portal vein and hepatic artery and draining into the central vein. This flow establishes an oxygen gradient along the sinusoids critical for defining the liver zonation. In metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), fat accumulation and fibrosis disrupt this architecture, contributing to localised hypoxia. Mounting evidence implicates hypoxia in MASLD, including the activation of canonical hypoxia sensors such as hypoxia-inducible factors. Moreover, chronic intermittent hypoxia, characteristic of obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA), is epidemiologically and mechanistically associated with MASLD progression. This review examines the intrahepatic oxygen dynamics, the interplay between OSA and MASLD, and molecular responses to hypoxia, proposing intrahepatic hypoxia as a spatial determinant of liver injury.
