1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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: Biliary atresia (BA) is a severe neonatal liver disorder that can progress to liver fibrosis and eventual failure. This bibliometric study evaluates global research on BA-related liver fibrosis from 2000 to 2024, highlighting emerging trends and key contributions. Methods: Data were retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection, focusing on original articles and reviews. Bibliometric tools were employed to assess publication trends, citation impact, and research collaboration. Results: A total of 589 publications were identified from 2000 to 2024. Publication output showed relative stability from 2000 to 2014 (223 publications), followed by a marked increase to 296 publications during 2015-2022, with continued growth in 2023 (39 publications) and 2024 (31 publications) [ Conclusion: Research on BA-related liver fibrosis has significantly increased, with key contributions from leading countries, institutions, and authors. Core journals have been instrumental in shaping the research discourse. This study provides valuable insights into current research trends and future directions, emphasizing the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration in advancing the understanding and treatment of BA-related liver fibrosis.
