Liver fibrosis in biliary atresia.
Review in World journal of pediatrics : WJP, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 48 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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
backgroundBiliary atresia (BA) is the most common cause of obstructive jaundice in infants. Although the Kasai procedure has greatly improved the prognosis, most patients still need liver transplantation (LT) for long-term survival. The pathogenesis of BA has not been fully clarified, and liver fibrosis in BA is far beyond biliary obstructive cirrhosis. DATA SOURCES: Literature reviews were underwent through PubMed. Persistent inflammation, immune response, biliary epithelial-mesenchymal transition, matrix deposition, decompensated angiogenesis, and unique biliary structure development all contribute to the fibrosis process. Observed evidences in such fields have been collected and form the backbone of this review.
resultsInteractions of the multiple pathways accelerate this process.
conclusionsUnderstanding the mechanisms of the liver fibrosis in BA may pave the way to improved survival after the Kasai procedure.
