Transjugular Intrahepatic Portosystemic Shunt for Advanced Hepatocellular Carcinoma With Main Portal Vein Tumor Thrombus-Related Symptomatic Portal Hypertension.

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.
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
Background and aims: The safety and efficacy of transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) in the treatment of symptomatic portal hypertension (SPH) caused by hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with portal vein tumor thrombus (PVTT) of main trunk remains unclear. The purpose of this study was to initially explore the safety and efficacy of TIPS for SPH caused by HCC with PVTT of main trunk. Methods: This retrospective study analyzed 16 patients who underwent TIPS for SPH caused by HCC with PVTT of main trunk. The evaluated outcomes were technical success rate, SPH control rate, stent patency rate, overall survival (OS), and complications. Results: From July 2018 to February 2023, sixteen consecutive HCC patients with PVTT of main trunk and SPH were retrospectively identified. Technical success was 93.75 %. All patients had complete or partial remission of clinical symptoms, and there were no incidents of acute variceal rebleeding and re-exacerbation of ascites during follow-up. There had no intraoperative TIPS-related complications occurred. One patient developed mild hepatic encephalopathy after TIPS placement during the follow-up period. During follow-up, 13 of 16 patients died of advanced HCC progression, the median OS was 10.0 months, and the cumulative OS of 0.5-, 1-, and 2 years were 66.67 %, 45.00 %, and 11.25 %, respectively. Conclusions: TIPS for SPH caused by HCC with PVTT of main trunk may be safe and effective.
