Efficacy and Safety of Ileal Bile Acid Transport Inhibitors in Inherited Cholestatic Liver Disorders: A Meta-analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials.
Review in Journal of clinical and experimental hepatology. 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
Background: Inherited cholestatic liver disorders such as progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis (PFIC) and Alagille syndrome result in significant pruritus and increased serum bile acids, necessitating liver transplantation. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Ileal bile acid transport inhibitors (IBATIs) in children with PFIC and Alagille syndrome. Methods: We conducted a comprehensive search across the databases to identify relevant randomized controlled trials (RCTs), and Covidence was used to screen eligible articles. All outcomes data were synthesized using risk ratios (RRs) or mean differences (MDs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) in RevMan 5.4. PROSPERO: CRD42024564270. Results: Four multicenter RCTs involving 215 patients were included. IBATIs were associated with a significant reduction in Itch Observer Reported Outcome (Itch (ObsRo)) score (MD: -0.90, 95% CI [-1.17, -0.63], Conclusion: IBATIs showed significant improvement in various cholestatic parameters with tolerable safety profile; however, future research on optimal dosage and long-term outcomes is needed.
