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

introductionVarious therapies and drugs have been developed to extend the life expectancy of patients with liver cirrhosis. The prolonged prognosis of cirrhotic patients may change the final cause of death in the future. Deep bleeding into the muscle is an uncommon but potentially life-threatening complication of liver cirrhosis. CASE REPORT: A 53-year-old man had undergone transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt treatment for refractory ascites, which successfully controlled it for three years. However, he had started drinking again and experienced acute-on-chronic liver failure. He also had severe back pain. Abdominal computed tomography showed hyperdensities in the retroperitoneum and right pleural cavity. Despite blood infusion, he died from acute-on-chronic liver failure. A pathological autopsy revealed bleeding from the iliopsoas and right diaphragmatic muscle simultaneously, evident from the presence of red blood cells located between the muscle sheaths. Disruption of the small vessels in the skeletal muscle fibers was inferred.

conclusionThis is a critical case that underscores the significance of improving available knowledge based on the cause of final death of the patients with cirrhosis, who now have a good long-term prognosis owing to the latest medical developments.
