Unveiling the impact of cirrhotic cardiomyopathy on portal hemodynamics and survival after transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt: a prospective study.
Article in Abdominal radiology (New York), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
aimsThe placement of Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) results in a sudden increase in central circulating blood volume, which requires proper regulation of the cardiovascular system. We aimed to investigate the impact of TIPS on cirrhotic cardiomyopathy (CCM).
methodA consecutive case series of patients with cirrhosis who underwent TIPS were evaluated by echocardiography and pressure measurements before, immediately after TIPS and 2-4 days later (delayed). Furthermore, all patients underwent a one-year follow-up.
resultsIn this study, 107 patients were enrolled, 38 (35.5%) with CCM. Echocardiography revealed an increase in postoperative left ventricular filling pressure accompanied by an elevation in left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). However, patients in the CCM group exhibited lower LVEF and mean arterial pressure (MAP) compared to the non-CCM group. Post-TIPS, CCM patients showed increased right atrium pressure (RAP) that normalized within 2-4 days, whereas non-CCM patients had lower RAP than baseline. Compared to patient without CCM, CCM patients revealed lower immediate (16.7 ± 4.4 vs. 18.9 ± 4.8, p = 0.022) and delayed 15.9 ± 3.7 vs. 17.7 ± 5.3, p = 0.044) portal vein pressures (PVP) and portal pressure gradients (PPG) (7.7 ± 3.4 vs. 9.2 ± 3.6, p = 0.032 and 10.1 ± 3.1 vs. 12.3 ± 4.9, p = 0.013). The 1-year mortality rates were 13.2% for CCM patients and 4.3% for non-CCM patients (log-rank test, p = 0.093), with MELD score, and preoperative RAP significantly associated with the mortality.
conclusionCirrhotic patients with CCM exhibit lower PVP and PPG immediately after TIPS and 2-4 days later, without significantly impacting one-year survival outcomes.
