Bone mineral analysis and X-ray examination of the bone in patients with biliary atresia.
Article in The Japanese journal of surgery, 1990. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Investigations of bone mineral content, X-ray of the radius and ulna and serum biochemical analysis were performed in 10 children with biliary atresia (B.A.) and 150 healthy children. The patients were classified into 2 groups, namely; group A, comprised of 5 patients whose postoperative courses went well, and group B, comprised of 5 patients who developed various degrees of liver disturbance postoperatively. The ratio of bone mineral content (BMC) to bone width (BW) (BMC/BW) increased in accordance with age in the healthy children and the patients of group A, but was relatively slow in the patients of group B. Signs of rickets were found on the X-rays of 4 of the 10 patients, while serum levels of calcium and 25-OH-vitamin D in the group B patients were significantly lower than those in the group A patients or healthy children. Serum levels of alkaline phosphatase (Alp) fluctuated, but serum Alp was elevated in all the patients with rickets.
