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

The aim of this study is to explore the clinical application value of preoperative selective partial splenic embolization before splenectomy plus portal-azygous disconnection. 158 cases of liver cirrhosis combined with upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage patients were selected, which were randomly divided into splenic embolization group (S, n=77) and the non-splenic embolization group (U, n=81). Group S patients were firstly performed partial splenic embolization (PSE), and then underwent splenectomy plus portal-azygous disconnection, and the group U patients were directly performed splenectomy plus portal-azygous disconnection. Statistical analysis was used SAS8.0 statistical analysis software. One week after partial splenic embolization, the platelet of group S returned to normal, and the rise of white blood cells and hemoglobin, and shorten of prothrombin time in group S were much better than that in group U (P<0.01, P<0.05); the indexes, such as the intraoperative blood loss, the blood transfusion amount, the amount of platelet infusion, and the incidence of complications in group S were more superior than that in group U (P<0.05). Preoperative selective splenic artery embolization before splenectomy plus portal-azygous disconnection can restore the spleen function, and reduce the risk of surgery and incidence of complications.
