Ultrasound with Doppler evaluation of congenital hepatic vascular shunts.
Article in Pediatric radiology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
Congenital aberrant hepatic vascular communications result from intrahepatic or extrahepatic errors in vascular development or involution during the transition from fetal to newborn hepatic circulation. These hepatic vascular shunts can be fortuitously discovered and asymptomatic, or can cause symptoms of varying severity, often presenting diagnostic dilemmas. Some hepatic vascular shunts resolve spontaneously while others require interventional radiologic or surgical closure. Affected patients are often first studied with real-time and Doppler ultrasound, so radiologists should familiarize themselves with the expected ultrasound findings of these vascular shunts for effective diagnosis, triage and management. In this review, the authors focus on ultrasound and Doppler findings of hepatic vascular shunts with underlying embryology, clinical features and management strategies. Broadly, these aberrant hepatic vascular communications include portosystemic venous shunts (which can be intra- or extrahepatic and include persistent patent ductus venosus), arterioportal, arteriovenous or mixed shunts.
