Preoperative nutritional status and its impact on cholangitis after Kasai portoenterostomy in biliary atresia patients.
Article in Pediatric surgery international, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
objectiveTo explore the preoperative nutrition status in patients with biliary atresia (BA) and its effect on the cholangitis of Kasai portoenterostomy (KPE).
methods106 patients who had been diagnosed with BA type III and were undergoing KPE were divided into two groups according to the score obtained using STRONGkids. Preoperative and postoperative data were collected to compare general characteristics and postoperative outcomes between the different groups.
resultsForty-nine (46.2%) patients were at moderate nutritional risk (MNR) and fifty-seven (53.8%) patients were at high nutritional risk (HNR) preoperatively. The MNR group had shorter postoperative hospitalization times than the HNR group (P = 0.023). The initial postoperative cholangitis occurred later (P = 0.002) and the incidence of early cholangitis was lower (P = 0.029) in patients at MNR than in those at HNR. The ratio of jaundice clearance (P = 0.02) and 2-year native liver survival (P = 0.0109) were significantly higher in MNR group than in HNR group.
conclusionsPatients with BA presented the greatest nutritional deficiencies and patients at HNR are more vulnerable to the early cholangitis and the rate of jaundice clearance is lower than those at MNR. The occurrence of initial postoperative cholangitis in MNR group was later than in HNR group.
