Gut microbiome in biliary atresia.
Review in World journal of pediatric surgery, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Biliary atresia (BA) is a progressive cholangiopathy of infancy and the leading cause of pediatric liver transplantation. Despite surgical intervention with the Kasai portoenterostomy, long-term outcomes remain poor, with many patients progressing to cirrhosis. Emerging evidence implicates the gut microbiota-a dynamic ecosystem crucial to immune development and liver homeostasis-in BA pathogenesis and clinical progression. This review synthesizes current literature on gut microbiota composition in BA before and after the Kasai procedure, highlighting consistent patterns of dysbiosis, including pathobiont expansion and depletion of beneficial microbes such as
