Efficacy of interventional radiology in the management of portal hypertension: A narrative review.
Review in Medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Portal hypertension is associated with numerous adverse effects, including the formation of gastroesophageal varices and a portal vein general circulation shunt. Portal hypertension can lead to portal blood flow into the liver and a subsequent reduction in liver function. Clinical interventions can be hampered by a concurrent reduction in circulating platelets associated with increased splenic activity. Pharmaceutical interventions for the treatment of complications associated with portal hypertension have achieved various degrees of success. However, an effective therapeutic strategy for portal hypertension has not yet been established. A literature search was performed using "PubMed." Database between 1966 and January 2021 using the following keywords: portal hypertension, interventional radiology, balloon-occluded retrograde transvenous obliteration, transjugular retrograde obliteration of gastric varices, percutaneous transhepatic obliteration, partial splenic embolization, and transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunting. In this narrative review, we summarize the application of interventional radiology in patients with portal hypertension, including techniques for embolization of collateral veins and portal pressure reduction. These up-to-date interventional radiology techniques can be used to treat portal hypertension. The data that support the findings of this study are available from the corresponding author, upon reasonable request.
