Biliary atresia in a 3-month-old infant (case report).
Article in Journal of ultrasound, 2024. 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
Biliary atresia (BA) is a congenital disease that occurs when extrahepatic bile ducts are either absent or deficient, resulting in liver fibrosis, portal hypertension, and eventually cirrhosis. It is the most common cause of persistent obstructive jaundice in newborns lasting more than two weeks is this condition. Abdominal ultrasound (US) is the primary imaging technique used to diagnose BA, while computed tomography (CT) is reserved for more complex cases. The gold standard for diagnosing BA is still intraoperative cholangiogram with liver biopsy. Treatment for BA usually involves Kasai hepatoportoenterostomy, but some patients still require liver transplantation due to diagnostic delays and advanced disease. In this study, the authors present the case of a 3-month-old infant with biliary atresia and its ultrasound characteristics, who underwent liver transplantation due to advanced disease. The primary objective of imaging is to provide a prompt diagnosis, given the crucial significance of timely surgical intervention.
