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

backgroundCovered stent placement (CSP) is gaining popularity for the management of delayed massive hemorrhage (DMH) after pancreatic or biliary surgery. However, early studies have produced conflicting results regarding the potential advantages of the procedure. We aimed to compare the short- and medium-term outcomes of arterial embolization (AE) and CSP for DMH.

methodsWe analyzed data for patients who underwent AE or CSP as an endovascular treatment (EVT) for DMH from the common hepatic artery (CHA) and its distal arteries between January 2009 and December 2019. We evaluated the major hepatic complications, in-hospital mortality, and 1-year mortality associated with the procedures, according to age, sex, reintervention, arterial variant, interval between surgery and EVT, and portal vein stenosis.

resultsAll hemorrhages were treated using AE (n = 50) or CSP (n = 20). CSP was associated with no in-hospital mortality (32% vs. 0%, p = 0.003), and lower incidences of major hepatic complications (44% vs. 10%, p = 0.011) and 1-year mortality (54% vs. 25%, p = 0.035) compared with AE, respectively. There was no significant difference in technical success and reintervention rates. Compared with AE, the risk-adjusted odds ratios for CSP (95% confidence intervals) for major hepatic complications and 1-year mortality were 0.06 (0.01-0.39) and 0.19 (0.05-0.71), respectively.

conclusionsCSP is superior to AE regarding major hepatic complications and in-hospital- and 1-year mortality in patients with DMH from hepatic arteries.
