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

purposeTo illustrate diagnostic and interventional imaging for the characterization and treatment of portal vein thrombosis (PVT).

introductionThe broad spectrum of congenital and acquired PVT manifestations is illustrated, with a focus on the pediatric population; diagnostic and interventional imaging techniques are described. DESCRIPTION: PVT frequently presents as an incidental finding at imaging in the screening for liver diseases or for other unrelated reasons. PVT can be classified based on: extension (intrahepatic, extrahepatic, involving the spleno-mesenteric tract, etc.); degree (partial or complete); onset (acute or chronic); and with or without cavernomatous transformation. This comprehensive review relies on the experience gained from a large series of congenital and acquired PVT in a referral center for pediatric and adult liver transplantation. Diagnostic and interventional imaging techniques are described, including: color-Doppler and contrast-enhanced Ultrasound; CT and MR angiography; retrograde portography; percutaneous transhepatic, transplenic, and transmesenteric portography; transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt creation. Pre- and post-operative imaging assessment of the surgical meso-rex bypass is discussed. The description is enriched with an original series of pictorial imaging findings.

conclusionPVT is a clinical condition associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Diagnostic and interventional imaging plays a crucial role in both conservative and operative management.
