The outcome of Kasai portoenterostomy after day 70 of life.
Article in Frontiers in pediatrics, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Background: The age at Kasai portoenterostomy (KPE) was reported to correlate with the prognosis of patients with biliary atresia (BA) and that a late KPE is bounded to be failure. Herewith, we reported the outcome of patients receiving KPE after day 70 of life. In addition, the prognostic indicators were evaluated. Materials and Methods: This was a retrospective analysis and all BA patients receiving KPE after day 70 of life in a tertiary centre between 1980 and 2018 were evaluated. Results: A total of 164 KPE procedures were performed during the study period and 62 cases were done after day 70 of life which were included in this study. The median follow up period of these patients was 10.6 years (range: 4.5 to 41.5 years). Thirty-nine patients (62.9%) patients were able to achieve jaundice clearance at 6 months after KPE. The NLS rate was 53.2% ( Conclusion: More than half of the BA patients can survive for 10 years with their native liver despite KPE was performed after day 70 of life. However, they have a higher chance to develop BA-related complications. The level of pre-KPE bilirubin and ductal enzymes as well as post-KPE bilirubin are prognostic indicators to predict NLS.
