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

backgroundWhether hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with portal vein tumor thrombus (PVTT) and acute esophagogastric variceal bleeding (EGVB) can improve the success rate of endoscopic hemostasis and overall survival (OS) from transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) remains controversial.

aimTo compare the clinical outcomes between TIPS and standard treatment for such HCC patients.

methodsThis monocenter, retrospective cohort study included patients diagnosed as HCC with PVTT and upper gastrointestinal bleeding. Patients were grouped by the treatment (TIPS or standard conservative treatment). The success rate of endoscopic hemostasis, OS, rebleeding rates, and main causes of death were analyzed.

resultsBetween July 2015 and September 2021, a total of 77 patients (29 with TIPS and 48 with standard treatment) were included. The success rate of endoscopic hemostasis was 96.6% in the TIPS group and 95.8% in the standard treatment group. All the 29 patients in TIPS group successful underwent TIPS procedure and had a better OS compared with standard treatment within the first 160 days after treatment (68 days

conclusionTIPS could reduce the risk of early death due to rebleeding and prolong short-term survival in HCC patients with PVTT and acute EGVB, which deserves further investigation.
