Predictors of outcome among children with biliary atresia: a single centre trial.
Article in PeerJ, 2025. 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
Objective: This study aimed to investigate the predictive role of preoperative gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT) levels on the prognosis of neonatal biliary atresia (NBA) in patients who underwent the Kasai procedure. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted of patients with NBA who underwent the Kasai procedure at our hospital from 2017 to 2021. Patients were categorized into high (GGT > 300 IU/L) and GGT inadequate (GGT ≤ 300 IU/L) groups based on preoperative GGT levels. The influence of GGT levels on NBA prognosis was evaluated by comparing clinical data, age at operation, jaundice normalization, and survival outcomes between the groups. Results: A total of 74 patients with NBA were included, with 59 in the high GGT group and 15 in the GGT inadequate group. Ages at the time of the Kasai procedure ranged from 31 to 106 days, with a median of 61 days; the average weight was 4.8 ± 1.1 kg. Two years post-procedure, 56 patients (75.7%) survived with their native liver ( Conclusions: High preoperative GGT levels predict better prognosis in patients with NBA undergoing Kasai operation.
