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 (BCS) is a rare disease with a variable clinical presentation and often late diagnosis. Doppler ultrasonography (DUS) permits to determine the site of the obstructed venous tracts, the thrombotic or non-thrombotic nature of the obstruction with its morphologic features and the flow-pattern alterations. Other non-specific findings, which are seen in most of the other liver diseases, include ascites, hepatosplenomegaly and caudate hypertrophy. The aim of this study is to show our experience in BCS reporting retrospectively 15 cases referred to our hepatology center between 2017 and 2021. Four selected cases depict the extreme heterogeneous behaviour of BCS and highlight the importance of DUS as a diagnostic tool when there is a clinical suspicion. In patients, mainly young, who present with ascites and abdominal pain, BCS has to be considered and DUS is the first imaging technique to be performed to rule it out.
