Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt through left branch versus right branch of portal vein: a meta-analysis.
Synthesis in Abdominal radiology (New York), 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
purposeTo compare the clinical outcomes between patients that underwent transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) via the left and right portal veins (PVs). MATERIALS AND
methodsAll relevant studies in the Pubmed, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases published as of June 2020 were identified by searching, after which RevMan v5.3 was used to conduct the present meta-analysis. Relevant endpoint data were extracted from each study, related to postoperative hepatic encephalopathy (HE) rates, TIPS dysfunction, re-bleeding, and mortality.
resultsA total of eight studies were identified as being relevant for inclusion in this meta-analysis. These studies included 2592 total patients suffering from liver cirrhosis that underwent TIPS treatment via the left (n = 1500) or right (n = 1092) PVs. Rates of postoperative HE were significantly lower in the left PV group relative to the right PV group (5.7% vs. 18.1%, OR 0.19; P < 0.00001), as were rates of TIPS dysfunction (8.1% vs. 16.5%, OR 0.41; P < 0.00001). In contrast, the rates of re-bleeding did not differ significantly between these groups (12.0% vs. 14.9%, OR 0.76; P = 0.11), nor did mortality rates (30.9% vs. 31.0%, OR 0.85, P = 0.22). We did not detect any significant heterogeneity among included studies for any analyzed endpoints, nor was any risk of publication bias pertaining to these studies detected through the use of funnel plots.
conclusionsTIPS conducted via the left PV was associated with decreased rates of postoperative HE and TIPS dysfunction relative to TIPS conducted via the right PV.
