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

Budd-Chiari syndrome consists a rare medical entity which has an estimated incidence of 0.1 to 10 people per million every year. It is defined by the obstruction of the flow in the inferior vena cava or the hepatic veins. Various classifications have been proposed. So, it can be acute or chronic and primary or secondary. Iatrogenic, a subtype of secondary Budd-Chiari syndrome, is caused by various medical interventions, including liver transplantation. On the other hand, liver transplantation is the ultimate therapeutic management of Budd-Chiari syndrome. Finally, a medical paradox and a vicious circle has been created. Liver transplantation can potentially be both the cause and treatment of Budd-Chiari syndrome. Budd-Chiari syndrome is simultaneously the cause and complication of liver transplantation. Our aim is to describe this double role of liver transplantation in Budd-Chiari syndrome and to acknowledge that a high degree of clinical suspicion is necessary for the proper recognition and management of this life-threatening condition.
