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

Some patients with refractory esophagogastric varices require surgery, such as gastric devascularization and splenectomy (Hassab's procedure). However, these patients are at risk of perioperative morbidities when undergoing devascularization to develop collateral vessels. We performed a more simplified procedure, splenectomy, and en bloc gastropancreatic fold division (GPFD) with hand-assisted laparoscopic surgery. Four patients with refractory esophagogastric varices and portal hypertension underwent splenectomy and GPFD. We reviewed patients' perioperative laboratory and morphological data, operative variables, and postoperative outcomes. Esophagogastric varices improved in 3 (75%) of the 4 patients. In one patient, esophageal varices (F1RC0) were observed 3 years after surgery, but they required no treatment and only received follow-up. Treatment with splenectomy and GPFD is not only less invasive than Hassab's procedure but also provides effective outcomes for refractory esophagogastric varices.
