"As this was an "invited commentary", a shorter reviewing time would have been welcomed . Usually, the peer reviewing entire procedure for commentaries or other similar articles (snapshots, news and views) takes a shorter time in other journals as the editors strive to have both the original research paper and the commentary published on the same issue of the journal. This , in the ends, benefits the visibility of both the original research article and the commentary. " [Collapse]

As you may know, case reports often involve more limited sample sizes and data compared to full research articles, which can place additional financial constraints on authors, particularly those without significant funding support. Given the increasing importance of case reports in medical research and education, I kindly ask if there is any possibility to consider a reduction in the publication fee for such articles.

"In response to the increasing incidence of liver fibrosis and cirrhosis worldwide, stem cell therapy has shown great promise, but related research remains relatively fragmented. Our study used statistical methods to quantitatively analyse characteristics such as the number of publications, citation frequency and author distribution to identify emerging trends, hotspots and methodologies in the field of stem cell therapy for liver fibrosis and cirrhosis. This study found that research institutions are geographically concentrated and correlate with epidemiological regions; it identified key milestones in research, such as the proven safety and efficacy of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in cirrhosis of different aetiologies; and it highlighted that MSC-derived exosomes are a current research hotspot. Given the rapid development of this field, we will continue to monitor its progress. We would also like to thank the reviewers for their valuable feedback, which helped us to refine our methodology and improve our analysis. " [Collapse]

"This systematic review and meta-analysis follows the ethical standards for this type of study and is registered in the required database PROSPERO. The methods are appropriate and have been thoroughly described, so the study could be reproduced. Results are valid and different variables have been well assessed. In addition, when quality, heterogeneity or certainty of the evidence in the included studies was considered questionable, authors have explicitly informed about it. Tables and figures are informative and well composed. Biostatistics are correctly reported. However, I have detected one mistake in the abstract section, when mentioning the results of CFB in eGFR, it should be p > 0.05 for all, instead of p < 0.05. References are well chosen based on relevance about the topic and including high-impact journals. The language is correct and clearly expresses the information. As authors have highlighted, several caveats arise from the results, including the low or very low certainty of the evidence in most of the analyses or the limited follow-up period in the RCTs. Unfortunately, the novelty of this review is limited, since a similar report has been published in 2024. As authors have acknowledged, there are some differences between the two systematic reviews and meta-analyses. However, the additional aspects addressed in the current review are not strongly remarkable. Despite these concerns, the study paves the way for future design of RCTs evaluating the long-term benefits of the use of tirzepatide, particularly for renal disease." [Collapse]
