TGF-β Signaling Plays a Pivotal Role During Developmental Biliary Atresia in Sea Lamprey (
Article in Hepatology communications, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Biliary atresia (BA) is a rare neonatal disease with unknown causes. Approximately 10% of BA cases develop in utero with other congenital defects that span a large spectrum of disease variations, including degeneration of the gall bladder and bile duct as well as malformation of the liver, intestines, and kidneys. Similar developmental alterations are manifested in a unique animal model, the sea lamprey (
