Portal Vein Thrombosis With Hypoplasia in the Left Lobe of the Liver: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Portal vein thrombosis (PVT) is an acute-onset, emergent thrombotic disease that is difficult to diagnose without an apparent underlying disease unless the clinician actively suspects its presence. We present a case of acute PVT with underlying left lobe hypoplasia of the liver, a previously undescribed condition. A 79-year-old male patient presented to the emergency department with the chief complaint of anorexia. His medical history included hypertension and an old brain infarction. The patient had no history of surgery. Contrast-enhanced CT revealed the disappearance of the left lobe of the liver and defects in the contrast effect in the left portal vein. The diagnosis reached was PVT with left lobe hypoplasia of the liver. Hypoplasia of the liver manifests few symptoms and may be identified incidentally. Clinicians need to be aware that PVT can develop from various underlying conditions, including hypoplasia of the liver, and we recommend aggressive imaging studies to help detect the presence of PVT when encountering similar cases.
