Predictive Effect of Mean Platelet Volume in Patients with Portal Vein Thrombosis: A Meta-analysis of Case-control Studies.
Synthesis in Current medical science, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Mean platelet volume (MPV) is an early marker of platelet activation. Larger platelets, compared to small ones, increase platelet adhesion and aggregation, and present a higher thrombotic activity. Some studies have explored the association between MPV and the morbidity of portal vein thrombosis (PVT). The aim of this study was to evaluate the predictive effect of MPV in patients with PVT by a meta-analysis. We searched Pubmed, Web of Science, SCOPUS, OVID, CNKI and CBMD from database inception to September 13,2017. Seven studies in accordance with selection criteria were included. The extraction of basic data was independently conducted by two reviewers. The mean difference in MPV between PVT patients and controls were pooled with weighted mean difference (WMD) and 95% confidence interval of 0.88 fl (95% CI: 0.61-1.15). A random-effect model was chosen for an obvious heterogeneity in the pooling (Chi-square=27.12, df=6, P<000l, I
