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

backgroundRefractory ascites has a 1-year survival rate of 50%. In selected patients, treatment options include liver transplantation (LT) or transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic stent shunt (TIPSS).

aimTo assess the outcomes of patients who underwent a TIPSS compared to large volume paracentesis (LVP).

methodsRetrospective study of patients who underwent a covered TIPSS or LVP for refractory or recurrent ascites over 7 years. Primary outcome was transplant-free survival (TFS). Further analysis was done with propensity score matching (PSM).

resultsThere were 150 patients [TIPSS group (

conclusionCovered TIPSS results in similar TFS compared to LVP in cirrhotic patients with advanced liver failure. Liver transplant assessment should be considered in all potential candidates for TIPSS. Further controlled studies are recommended to select appropriate patients for TIPSS.
