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

purposeWe aimed to determine the technical feasibility, safety and prognosis of the transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) revision by combined Y-configured stents placement.

methodsWe retrospectively evaluated 12 patients who received TIPS revision using Y-stenting technique between June 2015 and January 2019. The rates of technical success, complication, shunt patency, hepatic encephalopathy and mortality were described and analyzed.

resultsThe combined Y-configured stents were successfully placed in 11 of 12 patients (92%) without major complications. The median portosystemic pressure gradient (PPG) decreased from 23 mmHg (interquartile range, IQR, 18.5-27.5 mmHg) to 10 mmHg (IQR, 9-14 mmHg). The left internal jugular vein approach was used in 5 patients. Four patients required a shunt extension with an extra stent to resolve the stenosis at the portal venous terminus. Two patients developed hepatic encephalopathy, which was medically controlled within 3 months after the procedure. The TIPS patency and survival rates were both 100% during a median follow-up period of 10 months (IQR, 5.5-14 months).

conclusionTIPS revision by combined Y-configured stents placement was technically feasible and safe with favorable clinical outcomes.
