Case series of progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis type 3: Characterization of variants in
Article in Frontiers in medicine, 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
Objective: To improve the accuracy of the diagnosis of familial progressive intrahepatic cholestasis type 3 (PFIC3, https://www.omim.org/entry/602347). Materials and methods: Between September 2019 and March 2021, we recruited four patients with PFIC3 from two liver centers in East China. Molecular genetic findings of ATP-binding cassette subfamily B member 4 [ATP binding cassette transporter A4 ( Results: Four patients experienced cholestasis, mild jaundice, and elevated levels of serum direct bilirubin, γ-glutamyltransferase, or total bile acids. All patients had moderate-to-severe liver fibrosis or biliary cirrhosis, and their liver biopsy specimens stained positive with rhodamine. Molecular immunohistochemistry revealed reduced or absent MDR3 expression in all liver specimens. A novel mutation of Conclusion: MDR3 immunohistochemistry and molecular genetic analyses of
