Etiologies of Splenic Venous Hypertension: A Review.
Review in Journal of clinical and translational hepatology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Splenic venous hypertension or left-sided portal hypertension is a rare condition caused by an obstruction of the splenic vein. Usually, it presents with upper gastrointestinal bleeding in the absence of liver disease. Etiologies can be classified based on the mechanism of development of splenic vein hypertension: compression, stenosis, inflammation, thrombosis, and surgically decreased splenic venous flow. Diagnosis is established by various imaging modalities and should be suspected in patients with gastric varices in the absence of esophageal varices, splenomegaly, or cirrhosis. The management and prognosis vary depending on the underlying etiology but generally involve reducing splenic venous pressure. The aim of this review was to summarize the etiologies of splenic venous hypertension according to the mechanism of development.
