Liver transplantation for biliary atresia: a systematic review.
Synthesis 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 47 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
Biliary atresia (BA) is an idiopathic neonatal cholangiopathy characterized by progressive inflammatory obliteration of the intrahepatic or extrahepatic bile ducts. Although the Kasai operation has dramatically improved the outcomes in children with BA, most patients with BA eventually require liver transplantation (LT) even after undergoing a successful Kasai procedure. The Japanese LT Society (JLTS) was established in 1980 to characterize and follow trends in patient characteristics and the graft survival among all liver transplant patients in Japan. The 1-, 5-, 10-, 15- and 20-year survival rates for the patients and grafts undergoing living donor LT were 91.6, 91.5, 87.1, 85.4 and 84.2 and 90.5, 90.4, 84.6, 82.0 and 79.9%, respectively. LDLT was able to be performed even in patients weighing less than 5 kg with early liver failure following a Kasai operation using a reduced left lateral segments. As LT has been revealed to increase the donor pool and decrease the waiting list mortality with an excellent long-term graft survival, early referral to a transplant center should be considered when at least one complication of cirrhosis occurs during its natural history, especially in adolescents.
