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
objectiveTo investigate the predictive value of the aspartate aminotransferase-to-platelet ratio index (APRI) in combination with liver biochemical indices on the time to native liver survival (NLS) in patients with biliary atresia (BA) two years after Kasai portoenterostomy (KPE).
methodsThe clinical data from 2013 to 2022 at Shanxi Children's Hospital were analyzed. Patients were divided into two groups based on whether they survived with their native liver 2 years after KPE. General information and laboratory findings were reviewed before and then monthly after KPE until 3 months postoperatively. APRI was calculated.
resultsA total of 125 children with type III BA were included. There were statistically significant differences in the preoperative AST, GGT, APRI, liver fibrosis stage and jaundice clearance rate between two groups. The AUC of APRI at 3 months for predicting NLS was 0.732. The AUC of APRI at 3 months in predicting the 2-year NLS time in children with BA was higher than the single index.
conclusionThe prediction value of APRI for 2-year NLS time increases when combined with other indicators, and is better than single indicator, the prediction value is strongest when APRI is combined with all indicators.
