The Prognosis of Type III Biliary Atresia with Hilar Cyst.
Article in Indian journal of pediatrics, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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 compare the outcome of biliary atresia (BA) patients with and without hilar cyst on preoperative ultrasound.
methodsA single center retrospective review of patients of BA with (n = 27) and without hilar cyst (n = 27) over a 5 y period was done. The patients were analyzed using propensity score matching to reduce selection bias. All patients were diagnosed as type III BA by histologic examination and cholangiograms. Clinicopathological characteristics and survival outcomes were compared between the two groups.
resultsThere were no significant intergroup differences between baseline characteristics and outcomes after Kasai portoenterostomy surgery in two groups. BA with hilar cyst group showed comparable survival outcomes to the BA without cyst group (cumulative 1-y, 2-y and 5-y overall survival rates with native liver 61.4% vs. 65.8%, P = 0.041; 45.0% vs. 49.0%, P = 0.57; 45.0% vs. 49.0%, P = 0.57). And the Kaplan-Meier survival curves showed no significant difference in cumulative survival with native liver between the two groups (P = 0.58).
conclusionsType III BA with hilar cyst had no better prognosis compared with Type III BA without cyst.
