Clinical efficacy of transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt in the treatment of hepatopulmonary syndrome.
Article in Medicine, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) reduces the portal venous pressure of patients with hepatopulmonary syndrome (HPS).To describe the patients who underwent TIPS for the treatment of HPS.A retrospective study was performed on 81 patients with HPS and gastrointestinal hemorrhage treated with TIPS. Thirty patients underwent TIPS through the main portal vein (group A), 24 through the left branch of the portal vein (group B), and 27 through the right branch of the portal vein (group C). The partial pressure of arterial oxygen (PaO2), alveolar-to-arterial oxygen partial pressure gradient (A-aPO2), oxygen saturation (SO2), and complications were recorded and compared. The survival rate for each group was calculated.The technical success rate was 100% in the 3 groups. Preoperative portal vein pressure showed no significant differences between the 3 groups, which was decreased post-TIPS operation. In group A, PaO2 and SO2 were higher in 15 days and 3 months postoperative than preoperative (P < .05), whereas A-aPO2 was lower (P < .05). No difference occurred between 12 months post- and preoperative group. In group C, PaO2 and SO2 did not alter significantly at each time point after operation (P > .05), whereas A-aPO2 decreased at 3 months (P = .041) than preoperative. In group B, all indicators at each follow-up time point after TIPS were improved significantly as compared with the preoperative group (P < .05), which showed an excellent effect on hypoxemia treatment. Although the 1-year survival rate of 3 groups of patients was 92.85%, 90.90%, and 91.67%, respectively, the rate of hepatic encephalopathy and hepatic myelopathy was 33.33% (10/30), 16.67% (4/24), and 33.33% (9/27) after TIPS.TIPS reduced the pressure of the portal vein effectively and alleviated hypoxemia in most HPS patients successfully. Thus, the left branch of the portal vein is optimal for TIPS owing to fewer complications and efficacy in improving PaO2 as compared with the main portal vein and right branch.
