Biliary Atresia With Extrahepatic Cyst: A Diagnostic Dilemma.
Article in Cureus, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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 disorder that usually presents with cholestatic symptoms such as jaundice, pale stool, and dark urine shortly after birth. Intracranial hemorrhage is a rare manifestation. BA may sometimes be associated with a cyst in the biliary tree. Differentiating choledochal cyst with BA or cystic biliary atresia can be quite challenging yet very important as they differ significantly in their prognosis and treatment. Furthermore, clear mucoid fluid in the extrahepatic cyst is an unusual occurrence. This case report aims to raise awareness about this rare variant to facilitate appropriate and timely diagnosis and treatment. We report a case of an infant who presented with intracranial hemorrhage and conjugated hyperbilirubinemia. The ultrasonographic and magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) findings suggested Type I choledochal cyst, but it was later diagnosed as biliary atresia with an extrahepatic cyst and was not corrected by Kasai's operation.
