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

Double portal veins are a duplication of the portal vein and normal portal vein with an accessory portal vein. We report a case of a 63-year-old asymptomatic female with double portal veins. There was fat accumulation observed in the area which was supplied by the first portal vein in normal position, and fatty sparing of the liver was observed in the area which was supplied by the second portal vein in the preduodenal position. The 2 portal veins were equal in size. Furthermore, the patient presented with multiple congenital anomalies, including double inferior vena cava, splenic lobulation, and accessory liver lobe. Therefore, double portal veins in our case were thought to be an incomplete duplication of the portal vein with multiple congenital anomalies.
