Evaluation of Splenic Stiffness in Patients of Extrahepatic Portal Vein Obstruction Using 2D Shear Wave Elastography: Comparison with Intra-Operative Portal Pressure.
Article in Journal of clinical and experimental hepatology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
BACKGROUND/
aimsTo compare splenic stiffness (SS) with intra-operative portal pressures (PPs) in patients of extrahepatic portal vein obstruction (EHPVO).
methodsTwenty-one patients (14 males; 7 females) of mean age 20.4 years with clinical and sonographic diagnosis of EHPVO were included in this approved prospective study. Endoscopy for esophageal varices (EV) was done in all patients followed by ultrasonographic 2D shear wave elastography (SWE) of spleen. Three values were taken at different areas of spleen avoiding major vessels and mean was calculated. Intra-operative PP was measured from an omental vein during proximal spleno-renal shunt surgery. The PP was compared and correlated with SS along with other parameters.
resultsThe mean SS was 46.04 ± 8.0 kPa and the mean PP was 33.29 ± 4.1 mmHg. There was no significant correlation between PP and SS (
conclusionSS measured by 2D SWE did not correlate with PP and thus may not help in predicting gastrointestinal bleed in patients of EHPVO.
