Early and Peri-operative Prognostic Indicators in Infants Undergoing Hepatic Portoenterostomy for Biliary Atresia: a Review.
Review in Current gastroenterology reports, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 19 papers.
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
purpose of reviewBiliary atresia is the most common indication for liver transplantation among children. In recent years, prospective, multi-centre collaboration has been underway with the aim of providing high-quality data on the natural history of the condition, prior to and following hepatic portoenterostomy. RECENT
findingsThere is increasing evidence that specific histological findings, and age, at the time of portoenterostomy have relevance as prognostic indicators. Recent data suggest that the sub-type of biliary atresia, its co-existence with other anomalies and concurrent infection may also be important variables. This review provides a comprehensive summary of the histological predictors of outcome following portoenterostomy. Later age at portoenterostomy, advanced degree of hepatic fibrosis and co-existence with other congenital anomalies are strongly correlated with poor outcomes following portoenterostomy. There is increasing evidence to suggest that common serological indices and the presence or absence of cytomegalovirus (CMV) co-infection may have utility as early prognostic indicators.
