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

Portosystemic shunts with cirrhosis may lead to hepatic encephalopathy (HE), which is often pharmacotherapy-resistant. We report a case of a 66-year-old female patient diagnosed with alcoholic cirrhosis and uncontrolled HE. She underwent percutaneous transhepatic obliteration (PTO) for treatment of a large portosystemic shunt from the left and right gastric veins to the azygos vein. We embolized the target veins using hydro-coated coils and filled them with n-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate (NBCA), leading to firmed obstruction of the large portosystemic shunt without NBCA migration, thus reducing the number of coils required. The HE symptoms improved after PTO and could thereafter be controlled with conservative therapy. Our results showed that PTO using an NBCA injection inside hydrogel-coated coils for a large portosystemic shunt associated with HE is effective and safe.
