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

purposeTo determine the clinical effectiveness and long-term outcomes of endovascular treatment for hepatic vein (HV)-type Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS). MATERIALS AND

methodsFrom June 2011 to August 2016, 68 consecutive patients with symptomatic HV-type BCS underwent endovascular treatment in our center. Data on the baseline characteristics, technical success, clinical success, and long-term outcomes were collected and analyzed retrospectively.

resultsThe technical success rate of endovascular treatment was 100%. Fifty patients underwent HV recanalization, and 18 underwent accessory HV (AHV) recanalization. The clinical success rate was 95.6% (65/68). During a mean follow-up period of 29.4 ± 13.6 months, 19 patients experienced re-obstruction of either the HV (n = 18) or the AHV (n = 1). The cumulative 1-, 2-, and 5-year primary patency rates were 80.0, 72.8, and 67.9%, respectively. The cumulative 1-, 2-, and 5-year secondary patency rates were 93.8, 90.3, and 82.9%, respectively. Univariate and multivariate analyses revealed that the independent predictor of a prolonged primary patency duration was recanalization of the AHV. Five patients died 1-28 months (median, 15 months) after treatment. The cumulative 1-, 2-, and 5-year survival rates were 96.9, 93.4, and 91.2%, respectively. There was no significant difference in survival between the HV and AHV recanalization groups.

conclusionEndovascular treatment is effective for patients with HV-type BCS. It can result in excellent long-term patency and survival rates. If it is applicable, AHV recanalization should be considered prior to treatment in order to achieve a longer patency.
