The impact of pathological cyst wall changes on congenital biliary dilatation in infancy.
Article in Pediatric surgery international, 2026. 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
purposeThis study aimed to evaluate the impact of pathological changes in bile duct cysts on the clinical and liver pathological findings in early infantile patients with congenital biliary dilatation (CBD).
methodIn patients with CBD who underwent definitive surgery ≤ 4 months of age, the clinical and liver pathological findings were analyzed according to the presence or absence of inflammatory and fibrotic changes on the luminal side of the bile duct cyst.
resultsAmong the 14 patients with infantile CBD, 8 had inflammatory cell infiltration (iCBD), and 4 of these 8 patients showed the formation of a collagen layer together. In the remaining six patients, no infiltration of inflammatory cells or formation of collagen layers was observed (non-iCBD). In the iCBD group, the preoperative liver biochemistry levels were higher, the cyst amylase levels were lower, and the degree of liver fibrosis was more severe than those in the non-iCBD group, with significant differences. In comparisons of iCBD patients, there were no differences in the preoperative liver biochemistry levels, cyst amylase levels, and severity of liver fibrosis between the presence and absence of a collagen layer.
conclusionInflammatory and fibrotic changes in the bile duct cysts due to obstructive cholestasis may affect the clinical and liver histopathological differences in early infantile CBD after birth.
