A narrative review of genes associated with liver fibrosis in biliary atresia.
Review in Translational pediatrics, 2024. 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
Background and Objective: Biliary atresia (BA) is characterized by biliary inflammation and obstruction. In the later phase, liver fibrosis occurs. Although the etiology of BA is believed to be multi-factorial, genetic predisposition has been proposed to play a critical role in the pathogenesis. This review aimed to provide an updated summary of the genes that have been reported to be involved in BA-associated liver fibrosis. Methods: The review was conducted via evaluation of MalaCards (BA disease: MalaCards-research articles, drugs, genes, clinical trials) which is a universally applied website including various human disease database. The database of genes that are involved in liver fibrosis were studied. Key Content and Findings: Thirty-one genes that are associated with BA according to the disease relevance score were reviewed after further evaluations. Eleven genes ( Conclusions: Current scientific evidence using gene database has revealed a close association between genetic anomalies and the pathogenesis of liver fibrosis in BA. With a better understanding of these anomalies, therapy targeting these related genes may be a new therapeutic approach to alleviate liver fibrosis in BA.
