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

backgroundSinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS) is a kind of rare liver disease which is characterized by damage to small hepatic vessels, affecting particularly the sinusoidal endothelium. Due to the special etiology and high mortality, early diagnosis of SOS is significant for clinical survival and prognosis.

aimTo generalize the common etiologies and clinical symptoms of SOS and summarize the characteristic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features so as to provide more valuable information for early diagnosis of SOS.

methodWe searched PubMed, Web of science, Wanfang Data, China Knowledge Resource Integrated, VIP, and Cochrane Library databases without a limiting period and the types of articles. The search process mainly revolved around the etiologies, common clinical symptoms, and MRI imaging features of SOS. Ultimately, 29 full articles were included in this review and 222 articles were excluded.

resultsEleven case reports included 13 patients. The etiologies of these patients including chemotherapy (5/13), medicinal herbs containing pyrrolidine alkaloids (PAs,

conclusionIn the West, SOS was mostly secondary to HSCT. Some SOS developed in the process of chemotherapy for hepatic metastatic tumor. A few SOS were caused by toxicity of certain drugs. In the East, Tusanqi was a major cause of SOS. Ascites, abdominal pain and swelling, jaundice were the common clinical symptoms. Elevations of ALT, AST, GGT, ALP, TBil, and DBil could be used as predictors of liver function damage. Numerous characteristic MRI imaging features could provide more valuable information for early diagnosis of SOS.
