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

Few cases of portal vein thrombosis secondary to gastric cancer surgery have been reported. Here we report the diagnosis and management of two such cases. Case 1: Gastric carcinoma with acute hematemesis was detected by endoscopy in the gastric body of a 48-year-old woman. Histologic examination revealed signet-ring cell carcinoma with marked invasion of the vessels and nerves. Laparoscopic partial gastrectomy and Roux-en-Y gastrogastrostomy were performed. One month after surgery, imaging examination showed the formation of thrombi in the main portal vein and the right hepatic vein. Case 2: Gastric carcinoma with pyloric obstruction was clinically diagnosed in a 66-year-old woman. Laparoscopic partial gastrectomy and Billroth Roux-en-Y gastrogastrostomy were again performed. Two months after surgery, an abdominal imaging examination detected a thrombus in the right hepatic vein. Clinicians should consider portal vein thrombosis in patients with hyperthermia combined with an abnormal increase in procalcitonin.
