Mesenchymal Stromal/Stem Cell-Based Therapies for Liver Regeneration: Current Status and Future Directions.
Review in International journal of molecular sciences, 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 global burden of acute and chronic liver diseases warrants safe and effective regenerative therapies that can complement or defer liver transplantation. Mesenchymal stromal/stem cells (MSCs) have been recognized as versatile biologics that modulate inflammation, reverse fibrosis, and promote hepatic repair predominantly through paracrine signaling. In hepatic milieu, MSCs act on hepatocytes, hepatic stellate cells, endothelial cells, and immune cell subsets through trophic factors and extracellular vesicles (EVs). Despite demonstrating hepatocyte-like differentiation of MSCs, their in vivo efficacy is primarily attributed to micro-environmental reprogramming rather than durable engraftment. This review covers MSC biology, liver regeneration, and cell-based versus EV therapies, including administration, dosing, quality, and safety. Future directions focus on biomarkers, multi-center trials, and engineered MSC/EV platforms for scalable personalized liver regeneration.
