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 chronic liver disease with rising prevalence and disease burden. However, despite recent therapeutic advances, effective and broadly applicable treatment options remain limited, prompting continued efforts to develop novel therapeutic agents. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has attracted growing interest in MASLD management because its bioactive compounds can target multiple pathogenic processes. However, many TCM-derived compounds are limited by poor solubility, low bioavailability, and insufficient tissue specificity. Nanotechnology-based formulations enable controlled release and targeted delivery, offering a strategy to improve the utilization and therapeutic efficacy of TCM-derived active ingredients against MASLD. Based on a structured literature search across four databases, 45 representative studies were included and narratively synthesized according to nanoplatform type, design features, and mechanism-related therapeutic actions. Compared with previous broader reviews on TCM nanomedicine or MASLD-related nanotherapies, this review particularly emphasizes MASLD-oriented TCM nanoformulations from the perspectives of platform classification, design features, and mechanism-related therapeutic actions. We also discuss current challenges and future directions for clinical translation.
