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

purpose of reviewPortal vein thrombosis (PVT) is a frequent consequence of cirrhosis and its management is variable and controversial. Herein we highlight interventional treatment options and outcomes, together with mention of the physiology, presentation and imaging of PVT. RECENT

findingsUtilization of transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) for acute and chronic PVT is expanding. In acute PVT, TIPS improves hepatopetal flow which promotes thrombus resorption and prevents rethrombosis. The TIPS also functions as a conduit for thrombectomy devices and allows for embolization of variceal shunts. Chronic PVT is a relative contraindication to liver transplant. Portal vein recanalization (PVR) TIPS restores flow in a previously occluded portal vein, allowing for a conventional end-to-end portal vein anastomosis at transplant. PVR TIPS is technically demanding and often requires percutaneous splenic vein access for portal venous recanalization. Selection of endovascular PVT treatment varies with the age (acute or chronic) and the extent of thrombus, along with presenting symptoms and transplant candidacy.
