Experience of Performing Hepatic Interventional Radiological Procedures in a Tertiary Care Hospital in Odisha: A Case Series.
Article in Journal of clinical and experimental hepatology. 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
Introduction: During last few decades, radiological interventions have played crucial role in the management of the patients with chronic liver diseases. Various procedures including transjugualar intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS), transjugular liver biopsy (TJLB), transarterial chemoembilization (TACE)/transarterial radioembolization (TARE), balloon retrograde transvenous obliteration (BRTO) and plug-assisted retrograde transvenous obliteration (PARTO) are being performed safely and have significantly improved clinical outcomes in these patients. The technical and clinical success depend on appropriate patient selection along with thorough knowledge and experience to perform these procedures. On the other hand, few adverse events may also be associated with these procedures. The intervention radiologist and hepatologists should identify and treat these complications at the earliest so as to improve outcome of the patient. Materials and methods: About 25 hepatic intervention radiology procedures were performed in our center from January 2022 to 2023 May. Among these we have selected five patients who underwent TACE/TIPS/DIPS in our institute. We have selected these cases as in each of these cases we encountered some interesting outcomes/complications which were managed successfully. Results: The first case describes 33-year-old male with POEM syndrome and Budd Chiari Syndrome (BCS) who underwent TIPS and immediately had blockade of the stent. The second case is of a 43 years old male having BCS, refractory ascites with umbilical and inguinal hernia. The third case is of a 40 years old female with decompensated cirrhosis who underwent TIPS for portal hypertensive gastropathy. The fourth case is of a 51-years' female with decompensated cirrhosis with sarcopenia. Finally, the fifth case describes 24-year-old female with BCS and hepatocellular carcinoma. In this article we discuss the procedure and clinical course of the patients following the procedure. Conclusion: Hepatic radiological interventions though widely used can be associated with unusual albeit life threatening complications. Appropriate patient selection and thorough knowledge of procedure along with early diagnosis and management of these complications are key to obtain satisfying long term outcomes.
