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

Progressive Familial Intrahepatic Cholestasis type 1 (PFIC1) is a multisystem disorder. Although liver transplant (LT) resolves the hepatic disease, post-LT complications may occur, including severe enteropathy and graft steatosis caused by impaired bile acids handling by the native intestine. Surgical biliary diversion (SBD) is commonly used to alleviate these complications but may result in long-term morbidity, such as fat-soluble vitamin deficiency and essential fatty acids malabsorption. We report a PFIC1 patient who developed post-LT protein-losing enteropathy, initially managed with SBD. While effective, SBD led to severe fat malabsorption requiring intravenous lipid supplementation. After initiation of ileal bile acid transport inhibitor (IBATi) therapy, SBD was surgically reversed without recurrence of enteropathy. This case highlights IBATi as a potential alternative to SBD and as a strategy to reverse prior surgical interventions and improve quality of life.
