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) is a leading cause of chronic liver disease, and has emerged as a common etiological factor for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). MASLD and MASLD-associated HCC lack specific clinical biomarkers. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) and their microRNA (miRNA) cargo have emerged as key mediators of intercellular communication and promising diagnostic tools. This review provides a systematic overview of the stage-specific roles of EV-derived miRNAs across the MASLD spectrum. We focus on how key EV-miRNAs regulate lipid metabolism, inflammatory responses, hepatic stellate cell (HSC) activation, and the remodeling of the tumor microenvironment (TME). This review provides an updated perspective on cross-stage EV-derived miRNA regulatory circuits. In addition, we critically evaluate the potential of EV-derived miRNAs as non-invasive biomarkers and therapeutic targets. By integrating mechanistic insights with clinical relevance, this review provides a comprehensive framework for the early identification, risk stratification, and precision intervention of MASLD-associated HCC.
