Optimal Treatment for Patients With Cavernous Transformation of the Portal Vein.
Review in Frontiers in medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Cavernous transformation of the portal vein (CTPV) is a sequela of extrahepatic and/or intrahepatic portal vein obstruction caused by a combination of local and risk factors. It was ever taken as a relatively rare disease due to its scant literature, which was mainly based on clinical series and case reports. CTPV often manifests as gastroesophageal variceal bleeding, splenomegaly, and portal biliopathy after the long-term insidious presentation. It is unable for CTPV to be recanalized with anticoagulation because it is a complete obstruction of the mesentericoportal axis. Endoscopic therapy is mainly used for temporary hemostasis in acute variceal bleeding. Meso-Rex shunting characterized by portal-flow-preserving shunts has been widely performed in children with CTPV. The multitude of complications associated with CTPV in adults can be effectively addressed by various interventional vascular therapies. With the ubiquity of radiological examinations, optimal treatment for patients with CTPV becomes important. Multivisceral transplantation, such as liver-small intestinal transplantation, may be lifesaving and should be considered for patients with diffuse mesenteric venous thrombosis.
