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

Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) represents a multifaceted systemic condition, with the mechanisms linking intrahepatic lesions to systemic complications remaining a significant enigma in the field. This review posits that extracellular vesicles (EVs) serve as pivotal mediators facilitating communication between the liver and the entire organism. Within the hepatic environment, lipotoxic hepatocyte-derived EVs modulate macrophage populations and stellate cells, thereby promoting inflammatory and fibrotic processes. Systemically, the liver engages in bidirectional communication with adipose tissue, the intestinal tract, the cardiovascular system, and the pancreas via EVs, thus orchestrating metabolic homeostasis. Furthermore, we critically evaluate non-invasive diagnostic strategies and emerging therapies, including both natural and engineered EVs, based on EV-based interventions. We highlight the substantial potential and current challenges associated with achieving precision medicine in MASLD through targeted modulation of this specific communication network.
