1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

aim of the studyNeonatal cholestasis (NC) constitutes a large proportion of pediatric liver disorders. Nevertheless, awareness of the variant etiologies and how to manage them appropriately are lacking. So, out of a few specialized centers, many cases pass without appropriate management. This study aimed to present our tertiary level center's experience in NC that could increase the pediatrician's awareness of handling this problematic and common medical morbidity efficiently. MATERIAL AND

methodsIt is a retrospective study in which we analyzed the NC cases admitted to the inpatient department within three years. For all recruited patients, the available data were retrieved and recorded.

resultsA total of 412 patients were reviewed with 20 different etiologies diagnosed. The most common cause was biliary atresia (

conclusionsNC constitutes more than one-third of the inpatient admissions of all pediatric liver disorders and has a high rate of mortality. Awareness of the variety of etiologies and a rapid stepwise approach to diagnosis could have an impact on the outcome of this devastating disease.
