1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

introductionProgressive Familial intrahepatic cholestasis (PFIC) are rare disorders of bile acid (BAs) secretion and transport with a genetic background. PFIC are paediatric manifestations, but the same variants causing PFIC can also cause cholestasis with a later paediatric onset or adult-onset cholestatic disease (AOCD). Pruritus is a symptom of cholestasis that can be so devastating that it requires a liver transplant (LT) in children; some PFIC types have been described as at risk of liver cancer development. Commonly prescribed medications for PFIC symptoms can partially relieve pruritus without changing the natural history of the disease. Recently, a therapy reducing the intestinal resorption of BAs has been approved; it is effective on both pruritus and cholestasis in PFIC, potentially being a disease-modifying intervention. AREAS COVERED: The clinical and genetic characteristics of different PFIC and AOCD are summarized to provide a common background for geneticists and paediatric and adult hepatologists in diagnosis and management. EXPERT OPINION: Collaboration between paediatric and adult hepatologists and geneticists will become crucial for cholestatic disease research and patient treatment. Therefore, adult hepatologists will need to learn more about FIC. This might enable the implementation of individualized surveillance in FIC patients and the evaluation of patient family histories.
