Organoids in biliary atresia.
Review in World journal of pediatric surgery, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Organoids are three-dimensional and self-organizing cell cultures of various lineages that resemble structures and functions of an organ in many ways, and they are versatile tools in disease modeling and patho-mechanistic study of human diseases affecting their tissues of origin. Biliary atresia (BA), a cholangiopathy affecting the bile ducts of the liver, is a heterogeneous and multifaceted liver disease of complex pathogenesis. Cholangiopathies refer to a category of liver diseases that affect the cholangiocytes, the epithelial cells lining the lumen of the biliary trees. Biliary organoids consist of cholangiocytes in a spherical monolayer epithelium, which favorably resembles the structures and functional properties of the bile duct cholangiocytes. Biliary tissue-derived cells, pluripotent stem cells or embryonic stem cells, and hepatic progenitor cells are capable of generating biliary organoids. In the last decade, a considerable advancement has been made in the generation of biliary organoids for modeling liver physiology and pathophysiology. Using biliary organoids, scientists have advanced our knowledge underlying the pathogenic roles of genetic susceptibility, dysregulated hepatobiliary development/structure, environmental factors, and dysregulated immune-inflammatory responses to an injury in BA. This review will summarize and discuss the derivation and the use of biliary organoids in the disease modeling and patho-mechanistic study of BA.
