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

Background: Portal vein thrombosis (PVT) would exert a further increase in resistance to portal blood flow, resulting in worsening portal hypertension and poor outcome. This study aimed to identify risk factors and develop an clinically applicable dynamic nomogram predicting the occurrence of PVT in cirrhotic patients during primary prophylaxis for variveal hemorrhage (VH). Methods: The multi-center retrospective study enrolled cirrhotic patients with high-risk varices, which were further divided into training and validation cohorts for 3 years follow-up. A dynamic nomogram based on the Cox proportional hazard regression model was developed with the cutoff value calculated by X-title analysis. The performance of the nomogram was evaluated with Harrell's concordance index (C-index), calibration curve and decision curve analysis. Results: 91 (34.0%) of the whole cohort were diagnosed with PVT during 3-year follow-up. Variables including carvedilol ( Conclusion: The dynamic nomogram could be accurately and reliably used for clinical risk-stratification of PVT in cirrhotic patients during primary prophylaxis for VH.
