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

aimTo investigate the systemic hemodynamic effects of two surgical procedures largely employed for treatment of schistosomal portal hypertension.

methodsThirty-six patients undergoing elective surgical treatment of portal hypertension due to hepatosplenic mansonic schistosomiasis were prospectively evaluated. All patients were subjected to preoperative pulmonary artery catheterization; 17 were submitted to esophagogastric devascularization and splenectomy (EGDS) and 19 to distal splenorenal shunt (DSRS). The systemic hemodynamic assessment was repeated 4 d after the surgical procedure.

resultsPreoperative evaluation revealed (mean +/- SD) an increased cardiac index (4.78 +/- 1.13 L/min per m(2)), associated with a reduction in systemic vascular resistance index (1457 +/- 380.7 dynes.s/cm(5).m(2)). The mean pulmonary artery pressure (18 +/- 5.1 mmHg) as well as the right atrial pressure (7.9 +/- 2.5 mmHg) were increased, while the pulmonary vascular resistance index (133 +/- 62 dynes x s/cm(5) x m(2)) was decreased. Four days after EGDS, a significant reduction in cardiac index (3.80 +/- 0.4 L/min per m(2), P < 0.001) and increase in systemic vascular resistance index (1901.4 +/- 330.2 dynes x s/cm(5) x m(2), P < 0.001) toward normal levels were observed. There was also a significant reduction in pulmonary artery pressure (12.65 +/- 4.7 mmHg, P < 0.001) and no significant changes in the pulmonary vascular resistance index (141.6 +/- 102.9 dynes x s/cm(5) x m(2)). Four days after DSRS, a non-significant increase in cardiac index (5.2 +/- 0.76 L/min per m(2)) and systemic vascular resistance index (1389 +/- 311 dynes x s/cm(5) x m(2)) was observed. There was also a non-significant increase in pulmonary artery pressure (19.84 +/- 5.2 mmHg), right cardiac work index (1.38 +/- 0.4 kg x m/m(2)) and right ventricular systolic work index (16.3 +/- 6.3 g x m/m(2)), without significant changes in the pulmonary vascular resistance index (139.7 +/- 67.8 dynes xs/cm(5) x m(2)).

conclusionThe hyperdynamic circulatory state observed in mansonic schistosomiasis was corrected by EGDS, but was maintained in patients who underwent DSRS. Similarly, the elevated mean pulmonary artery pressure was corrected after EGDS and maintained after DSRS. EGDS seems to be the most physiologic surgery for patients with schistosomal portal hypertension.
