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

backgroundTransjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) is widely accepted as an alternative to surgery for management of complications of portal hypertension. TIPS has been used to treat portal vein thrombosis (PVT) in many centers since the 1990s. Although TIPS has good therapeutic effects on the formation of PVT, the effect of PVT on TIPS stenting has rarely been reported. Patients with splenectomy and pericardial devascu-larization have a high incidence of PVT, which can markedly affect TIPS stent patency and increase the risk of recurrent symptoms associated with shunt stenosis or occlusion.

aimTo investigate the incidence of PVT after splenectomy and its influence on the patency rate of TIPS in patients with cirrhosis and portal hypertension.

methodsFour hundred and eighty-six patients with portal hypertension for refractory ascites and/or variceal bleeding who required TIPS placement between January 2010 and January 2016 were included in this retrospective analysis. Patients without prior splenectomy were defined as group A (

resultsBefore TIPS procedure, the incidence of PVT in group A was lower than in group B (

conclusionPatients with prior splenectomy have a high incidence of PVT, which potentially increases the risk of recurrent symptoms associated with shunt stenosis or occlusion.
