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 clinical characteristics and risk factors of patients with Flupirtine-induced liver cirrhosis complicated with upper gastrointestinal bleeding.

methodsA total of 116 patients with liver cirrhosis admitted to our hospital from July 2018 to July 2019 were selected and divided into bleeding group (liver cirrhosis complicated with upper gastrointestinal bleeding, n = 71) and non-bleeding group (liver cirrhosis, n = 45). The clinical data of patients in the two groups were collected, including general data, liver function, urinalysis, coagulation function and imaging data. Univariate analysis and multivariate logistic regression analysis were utilized to find the influencing factors of liver cirrhosis complicated with upper gastrointestinal bleeding.

resultsOf the 116 patients, 45 patients had upper gastrointestinal bleeding, with an incidence rate of 38.79%, including 18 patients (40.00%) with rupture of esophageal varices, 9 (20.00%) with rupture of gastric varices, 9 (20.00%) of portal hypertensive gastropathy, 8 (17.78%) with peptic ulcer, 1 (2.22%) with acute erosive hemorrhagic gastritis; 14 (31.11%) experienced recurrent hemorrhage within 72 hours after treatment, but no death occurred. There were 45 cases (38.79%) in the bleeding group, and 71 (61.21%) in the non-bleeding group, and the differences in the course of liver cirrhosis, the degree of esophageal varices, peptic ulcer, portal hypertension, non-steroidal drug medication and TP between the bleeding group and non-bleeding group were significant (P < 0.05). Severe esophageal varices, liver cirrhosis, peptic ulcer, portal hypertension, non-steroidal drug medication, and TP ≥ 16 s were found to be risk factors of liver cirrhosis complicated with upper gastrointestinal bleeding by logistic regression analysis.

conclusionClinically, it is necessary to take corresponding intervention measures to reduce the incidence of upper gastrointestinal bleeding in patients with liver cirrhosis and improve the prognosis of patients with liver cirrhosis.
