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 investigate the clinical value of color Doppler ultrasonography (CDUS) in measuring the hemodynamics of liver cirrhosis (LC) patients' portal and splenic veins.

methodsThe clinical data of 81 LC patients admitted to our hospital were collected retrospectively and classified into Group A, and the clinical data from 51 healthy volunteers were classified into Group B. All the patients were examined with CDUS, and the ultrasonography images were analyzed. The hemodynamic indices of the portal and splenic veins were compared, and the differences in the hemodynamic indices of the LC patients with varying degrees of esophageal varices and hepatic injuries were analyzed.

resultsGroup A exhibited higher Q

conclusionCDUS has certain clinical values in measuring the hemodynamics of LC patients' portal and splenic veins and can be used to predict the degrees of hepatic injuries and esophageal varices.
