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

introductionThe safety and feasibility of laparoscopic splenectomy plus selective esophagogastric devascularization (LSSD) via the spleen bed for cirrhotic portal hypertension have not been well studied.

aimTo assess the safety and feasibility of LSSD via the spleen bed for patients with cirrhotic portal hypertension. MATERIAL AND

methodsFrom June 2012 to December 2017, 423 patients suffering from portal hypertension and hypersplenism with liver cirrhosis underwent surgery in our department. One hundred and sixty-seven of these patients received totally LSSD, and the others received open splenectomy and esophagogastric devascularization (OSD). The characteristics, intraoperative and postoperative details and complications of the two groups were compared.

resultsThe operations were successfully performed in all patients. Intraoperative blood loss volume and blood transfusion were similar between the two groups (all p-values > 0.05). Postoperative length of hospital stay and time to oral intake were significantly shorter, but operation time was longer in the LSSD group compared with the OSD group (all p < 0.05). However, postoperative portal vein diameter was significantly smaller in the LSSD group (p < 0.001). The postoperative grade of varices was significantly lower in the LSSD group (p = 0.030). No significant differences were detected between the two groups regarding postoperative liver function, but the incidences of pancreatic leakage, pleural effusion, and wound infections were higher in the OSD group (all p < 0.05).

conclusionsLSSD via the spleen bed is safe and feasible for liver cirrhosis and portal hypertension.
