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 effect of transjugular intrahepatic porto-systemic shunt (TIPS) on malnutrition in portal hypertensive cirrhotic patients.

methodsTwenty-one patients with liver cirrhosis and clinical indications for TIPS insertion were investigated before and 1, 4, 12, 52 wk after TIPS. For each patient we assayed body composition parameters [dry lean mass, fat mass, total body water (TBW)], routine liver and kidney function tests, and free fatty acids (FFA). Glucose and insulin were measured for the calculation of the homeostasis model assessment insulin resistance (HOMA-IR); liver function was measured by the galactose elimination capacity (GEC); the severity of liver disease was graded by model for end-stage liver disease (MELD).

resultsPorto-systemic gradient decreased after TIPS (6.0 +/- 2.1 mmHg vs 15.8 +/- 4.8 mmHg, P < 0.001). Patients were divided in two groups according to initial body mass index. After TIPS, normal weight patients had an increase in dry lean mass (from 10.9 +/- 5.9 kg to 12.7 +/- 5.6 kg, P = 0.031) and TBW (from 34.5 +/- 7.6 L to 40.2 +/- 10.8 L, P = 0.007), as well as insulin (from 88.9 +/- 49.2 pmol/L to 164.7 +/- 107.0 pmol/L, P = 0.009) and HOMA-IR (from 3.36% +/- 2.18% to 6.18% +/- 4.82%, P = 0.023). In overweight patients only FFA increased significantly (from 0.59 +/- 0.24 mmol/L to 0.93 +/- 0.34 mmol/L, P = 0.023).

conclusionTIPS procedure is effective in lowering portal pressure in patients with portal hypertension and improves body composition without significant changes in metabolic parameters.
