The Role of a NICU Hepatology Consult Service in Assessing Liver Dysfunction in the Premature Infant.
Article in JPGN reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Liver dysfunction is common in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Literature exists on the presentation of primary liver disease in the NICU but little has been published on general liver dysfunction in the NICU. This is a retrospective observational study of hepatology consultations and outcomes in a large referral NICU. 157 babies were evaluated by a single hepatologist and followed to resolution of disease, death, or lost to follow-up as outpatients. Infectious etiologies were the most common cause for liver dysfunction in the NICU, followed by shock, genetic abnormalities, cardiac disease, large heme loads, and hypothyroidism. Primary liver disease was rare. Liver dysfunction in the sick preterm infant was often multifactorial, and the distribution of diagnoses differs from that seen in the term baby. The liver dysfunction may last well beyond discharge from the NICU and may result in death.
