A rare cause of neonatal cholestasis: congenital portosystemic shunt.

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
Neonatal cholestasis is a pathological condition characterized by impaired bile flow in infants, typically presenting within the first 3 months of life. While common etiologies include biliary atresia, metabolic disorders, and infections, rare causes such as congenital portosystemic shunts must also be considered in the differential diagnosis. We present the case of a term infant with a congenital portosystemic shunt who presented with cholestasis and hyperammonemia. Bilirubin and liver function enzymes gradually decreased after initiation of ursodeoxycholic acid therapy. In newborns presenting with hypoglycemia, cholestasis, and thrombocytopenia, initial investigations are usually performed for metabolic diseases, congenital infections (toxoplasmosis, cytomegalovirus, rubella, herpes simplex virus), and genetic causes. As these tests may take time to return, early radiological imaging should be pursued to evaluate for anatomical abnormalities.
