Internal biliary diversion using appendix during liver transplantation for progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis type 1: A case report.
Article in World journal of gastrointestinal surgery, 2025. 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
backgroundProgressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis type 1 (PFIC-1) is a genetic cholestatic disease causing end-stage liver disease, which needs liver transplantation (LT). Simultaneous biliary diversion (BD) was recommended to prevent allograft steatosis after transplantation, while increasing the risk of infection. Here, an attempt was made to perform BD using appendix to prevent bacterial translocation after LT. CASE SUMMARY: An 11-month-old boy diagnosed with PFIC-1 received ABO compatible living donor LT due to refractory jaundice and pruritus. His mother donated her left lateral segment with a graft-to-recipient weight ratio of 2.9%. Internal BD was constructed during LT using the appendix by connecting its proximal end with the intrahepatic biliary duct and the distal end with colon. Biliary leakage was suspected on the 5
conclusionInternal BD using appendix during LT is effective in preventing allograft steatosis and post-transplant infection in PFIC-1 recipients.
