Pseudotumoral portal cavernoma: A rare case that challenges diagnosis.
Article in Radiology case reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Portal cavernoma cholangiopathy (PCC), also known as portal biliopathy, refers to biliary duct abnormalities caused by extrahepatic portal vein obstruction (EHPVO) and subsequent cavernous transformation of the portal vein. Pseudotumoral portal cavernoma is a specific subtype of PCC characterized by the presence of numerous thin collateral veins that mimic the sheath of the common bile duct (CBD). We present a case of a 42-year-old women with pseudotumoral portal cavernoma secondary to portal vein thrombosis, a complication of myeloproliferative disorder. This case underscores the diagnostic challenges posed by pseudotumoral portal cavernoma and emphasizes the crucial role of imaging in achieving an accurate diagnosis.
