1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundPortal shunt and immune status related to the spleen are related to the occurrence of hepatic encephalopathy (HE). It is unknown whether spleen volume before transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) is related to postoperative HE.

aimTo investigate the relationship between spleen volume and the occurrence of HE.

methodsThis study included 135 patients with liver cirrhosis who underwent TIPS, and liver and spleen volumes were elevated upon computed tomography imaging. The Kaplan-Meier curve was used to compare the difference in the incidence rate of HE among patients with different spleen volumes. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses were performed to identify the factors affecting overt HE (OHE). Restricted cubic spline was used to examine the shapes of the dose-response association between spleen volumes and OHE risk.

resultsThe results showed that 37 (27.2%) of 135 patients experienced OHE during a 1-year follow-up period. Compared with preoperative spleen volume (901.30 ± 471.90 cm

conclusionSpleen volume is related to the occurrence of OHE after TIPS. Preoperative spleen volume is an independent risk factor for post-TIPS OHE.
