Biliary sepsis complication with congenital hepatic fibrosis: an unexpected outcome.
Article in BMC infectious diseases, 2023. 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
backgroundCHF (Congenital hepatic fibrosis) is a rare hereditary disease characterized by periportal fibrosis and ductal plate malformation. Little is known about the clinical presentations and outcome in CHF patients with an extraordinary complication with biliary sepsis. Our case described a 23-year-old female diagnosed as CHF combined with biliary sepsis. Her blood culture was positive for KP (Klebsiella pneumoniae), and with a high level of CA19-9 (> 1200.00 U/ml, ref: <37.00 U/ml). Meanwhile, her imaging examinations showed intrahepatic bile duct dilatation, portal hypertension, splenomegaly, and renal cysts. Liver pathology revealed periportal fibrosis and irregularly shaped proliferating bile ducts. Whole-exome sequencing identified two heterozygous missense variants c.3860T > G (p. V1287G) and c.9059T > C (p. L3020P) in PKHD1 gene. After biliary sepsis relieved, her liver function test was normal, and imaging examination results showed no significant difference with the results harvested during her biliary sepsis occurred.
conclusionThe diagnosis of CHF complicated with biliary sepsis in the patient was made. Severely biliary sepsis due to KP infection may not inevitably aggravate congential liver abnormality in young patients. Our case provides a good reference for timely treatment of CHF patients with biliary sepsis.
