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

Extrahepatic portal vein obstruction (EHPVO) is a rare condition characterized by the occlusion or narrowing of the portal vein outside the liver. We present a case report of a patient with EHPVO secondary to combined protein C and S deficiency and pancytopenia secondary to hypersplenism, highlighting the clinical presentation, diagnostic challenges, and management strategies. Early recognition of this condition and prompt initiation of appropriate treatment can prevent life-threatening complications such as variceal bleeding and portal hypertension. This case underscores the need for a high index of suspicion for inherited thrombophilias in patients presenting with portal vein thrombosis, particularly in the absence of traditional risk factors.
