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

objectiveTo evaluate the clinical efficacy and long-term outcomes associated with the treatment of hepatic vein (HV)-type Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS) via accessory HV (AHV) recanalization.

methodsIn total, 26 HV-type BCS patients underwent AHV recanalization between July 2014 and December 2019 at our hospital, while 73 HV-type BCS patients without compensatory AHV underwent main HV (MHV) recanalization and served as controls in the present study. Short- and long-term clinical outcomes were compared.

resultsAHV and MHV recanalization approaches were both associated with 100% technical success rates, with one recanalization procedure being performed per patient. Respective clinical success rates for the AHV and MHV recanalization approaches were 96.2% and 94.5% (P = 0.744). Re-obstruction rates were comparable between these two approaches at 20% and 34.8%, respectively (P = 0.17). Primary cumulative 1-, 2-, and 5-year patency rates in the AHV group were 96.0%, 91.6%, and 76.3%, respectively, whereas in the MHV group, these three respective rates were 87.0%, 78.6%, and 58.6% (P = 0.048). Secondary cumulative 1-, 2-, and 5-year patency rates in the AHV group were 96.0%, 96.0%, and 96.0%, respectively, whereas in the MHV group, they were 97.1%, 97.1%, and 81.8%, respectively (P = 0.289). Cumulative 1-, 2-, and 5-year survival rates for AHV group patients were 96.0%, 96.0%, and 96.0%, respectively, while for the MHV group, these respective rates were 98.6%, 95.2%, and 89.7% (P = 0.462).

conclusionHV-type BCS can be safely and effectively treated via AHV recanalization, which may achieve longer patency relative to MHV recanalization.
