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

Liver fibrosis is characterized by an excessive accumulation of extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins as a wound-healing response to chronic liver injury, leading to tissue scarring and organ dysfunction. Natural compounds, including phytonutrients and polyphenols, have been shown to exert protective effects by reducing profibrotic biomarkers in vitro and in vivo models. Here, we provide the first evidence that the polyphenol hesperidin (HE) can counteract the onset of fibrotic responses in an ex vivo mouse liver fibrosis model induced by Transforming Growth Factor-β1 (TGF-β1) (5 ng/mL). Notably, HE drives early ECM remodeling in the fibrotic mouse liver tissue. Fibrosis-related parameters were assessed at both the transcriptional and translational levels after treatment with HE at increasing concentrations of 50, 75, and 100 µg/mL. Interestingly, HE at 75 µg/mL exerted the strongest beneficial effect, significantly decreasing the gene expression of
