Advances in pediatric liver transplantation from the pediatric surgeon's perspective.
Review in Pediatric surgery international, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Pediatric liver transplantation is a lifesaving state-of-the-art operation for children with various liver diseases, including cholestatic diseases, metabolic disorders, acute liver failure, and primary malignant liver tumors. Among these indications, transplantation for biliary atresia and hepatoblastoma is discussed in this review because pediatric surgeons are usually involved in their initial treatments. For biliary atresia, pediatric surgeons are advised to keep dissection of the hilar structures to a minimum during Kasai portoenterostomy in order to make total hepatectomy easier at transplantation. Early referral to a transplant team is recommended when worrisome signs of liver dysfunction, cirrhosis, portal hypertension and growth retardation are noted. Hepatoblastoma with multiplicity or located close to major vessels may indicate unresectability, and the transplant team needs to be consulted early after neoadjuvant chemotherapy is started. The graft size, including its thickness, needs to be evaluated before transplantation for small children, as tailoring the shape of the partial graft may be necessary during the transplant procedure.
