Changes in liver perfusion and function before and after percutaneous occlusion of spontaneous portosystemic shunt.
Article in Japanese journal of radiology, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers.
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.
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
purposeTo evaluate changes in liver perfusion after occlusion of spontaneous portosystemic shunt and to analyze mechanisms of liver profile improvement. MATERIALS AND
methodsLiver function changes and portal venous and hepatic arterial blood flow were evaluated using perfusion CT before and after shunt occlusion in 23 patients who underwent percutaneous occlusion of spontaneous portosystemic shunt because of gastric varices (n = 15) or hepatic encephalopathy (n = 8).
resultsPortal venous blood flow was significantly higher at 1 week (278.7 ml/min, 92.7-636.7, p = 0.012), 1 month (290.0 ml/min, 110.1-560.1, p < 0.001) and 3 months (299.6 ml/min, 156.7-618.5, p = 0.033) after shunt occlusion than the baseline (220.9 ml/min, 49.5-566.7). Hepatic arterial liver blood flow became lower than the baseline (132.3 ml/min, 47.9-622.3) after shunt occlusion, but a significant decrease was observed only at 1 month later (107.9 ml/min, 45.8-263.6 p = 0.027). Serum albumin concentration became significantly higher than the baseline (3.4 mg/dl, 1.9-4.5) at 1 month (3.8 mg/dl, 2.3-4.3, p = 0.018) and 3 months (3.9 mg/dl, 2.6-4.3, p = 0.024) after shunt occlusion.
conclusionShunt occlusion increases portal venous blood flow and decreases hepatic arterial blood flow, thereby improving the liver profile.
