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

Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS) is an uncommon vascular disorder in which venous thrombosis prevents the venous outflow of the liver. The obstruction is primarily at the level of hepatic veins and inferior vena cava. Here, we present a case of a two-and-a-half-year-old male child who presented with complaints of abdominal distension for two months and fever and watery diarrhea for one month. Physical examination showed the patient was anemic with palmar erythema. He was started on an empirical treatment of cefotaxime, metronidazole, and amikacin. Sensitivity and culture reports for blood and urine samples were negative, but abdominal computed tomography (CT) scan showed characteristic findings for BCS with caudate lobe hypertrophy. After the symptomatic treatment of the patient, a liver transplant was suggested as a last resort.
