Transjugular Intrahepatic Portosystemic Shunt: An Update.
Review in Interventional radiology (Higashimatsuyama-shi (Japan), 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
It is more than 50 years since the concept of transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) was first introduced as a percutaneous procedure for patients with refractory variceal bleeding and ascites. TIPS has become widely accepted in the management of complications of portal hypertension because it is less invasive than surgery. In the early days of TIPS, complications included the poor long-term patency of the stent and a high incidence of hepatic encephalopathy. In addition, an excessive shunt diameter after TIPS often resulted in severe hepatic encephalopathy. Although recent covered stents have significantly reduced shunt dysfunction, the development of hepatic encephalopathy and early liver failure remain to be crucial post-TIPS complications. This study reviews the current literature on the status of TIPS in the treatment of cirrhosis.
