Prognostic Factors for Survival of Patients with Biliary Atresia Following Kasai Surgery.

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 progressive obstruction and fibro-obliteration of the extrahepatic and intrahepatic biliary tract that causes cholestatic jaundice in infants, resulting in biliary cirrhosis and even death in the first year of life if the Kasai procedure is not performed at an earlier age. There are many prognostic factors that could affect the survival of patients with BA after Kasai surgery, however results still show some conflicting findings. A retrospective study was conducted using medical records of patients with BA who underwent Kasai surgery at Dr. Sardjito Hospital, Yogyakarta, Indonesia from June 2012 to April 2018. Twenty-nine BA patients were involved in our study, with 16 males and 13 females. Log-rank analysis showed a significant association between survival rate of BA patients with albumin level 1 month and 3 months after Kasai surgery, with p-values of 0.043 and 0.016, respectively. Interestingly, multivariate analysis revealed that cholangitis tended to have an association with BA patients' survival (p=0.09). In conclusion, the BA patients' survival might be affected by the presence of cholangitis after Kasai surgery. Further multicenter studies with a larger sample size are important to verify our results.
