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

purposeThis study aimed at investigating the feasibility and effectiveness of retrograde puncture assisted hepatic vein (HV) recanalization in management of Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS) patients with segmental obstruction of HV. MATERIALS AND

methodsFrom May 2011 to August 2014, 76 BCS patients with obstruction of HV were treated by routine transjugular HV recanalization in our center. Among them, 17 patients with segmental obstruction (obstruction length >1 cm) of HV experienced failure of the routine transjugular HV recanalization and underwent retrograde puncture assisted HV recanalization. Data on technical success, clinical success and follow-up were collected and analyzed retrospectively.

resultsRetrograde puncture assisted HV recanalization was technically successful in 14 of 17 (82 %) patients. Of these 14 patients, 12 patients underwent HV balloon dilation, and 2 patients underwent HV stent insertion. No procedure-related complications occurred in any of our patient. Clinical success was achieved in all of the 14 patients who experienced technical success. The mean HV pressure decreased from 43.6 ± 6.7 cmH2O before treatment to 18.4 ± 4.8 cmH2O after treatment (P < 0.001). BCS-related symptoms began to improve on the next day following the treatment. During 4-43 months (mean 17.4 ± 10.8 months) of follow-up, three patients experienced re-obstruction of HV.

conclusionsRetrograde puncture assisted HV recanalization is a simple, safe, and effective treatment for BCS patients with segmental obstruction of HV. It can serve as an additional treatment option for patients who experience the technical failure of routine transjugular HV recanalization.
