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

Hepatic encephalopathy (HE) is a frequent and serious complication of chronic liver disease. The mechanism of hepatic encephalopathy is not entirely clear. Hepatic encephalopathy is defined as brain dysfunction caused by liver insufficiency and/or portal-systemic blood shunting. It manifests as a wide spectrum of neurological or psychiatric abnormalities, ranging from subclinical alterations, detectable only by neuropsychological or neurophysiological assessment, to coma. Liver transplant (LT) is the definitive treatment for refractory hepatic encephalopathy. In this case, we present a challenging case of refractory hepatic encephalopathy in a postliver transplant patient with portal vein thrombosis and a splenorenal shunt treated with a novel technique to address his complex anatomy.
