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

Congenital portosystemic shunt (CPS) is a rare vascular anomaly resulting in diversion of splanchnic or portal blood into the systemic circulation. Other vascular malformations associated with this entity are uncommon. A 4-year-old female child with a diagnosis of acute viral hepatitis had an incidental finding of extrahepatic CPS on a Doppler abdominal ultrasound. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography showed a dilated portal vein having H-type side-to-side communication with a hypoplastic intrahepatic portion of the inferior vena cava and a prominent dilated azygos vein. There was retroaortic left renal vein drained into the IVC which was visualized in its entirety. Echocardiography findings were normal and the patient was discharged after symptomatic treatment that achieved improvement. With the expansion of abdominal imaging, incidental cases of CPS are increasingly being diagnosed in children. Although vascular malformations associated with CPS are rare, early diagnosis of cases helps avoid complications during shunt closure.
