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

purposeTo evaluate the diagnostic value of ultrasound in grading portal vein stenosis (PVS) in a rat model of 70% partial hepatectomy (PH).

methodsA total of 96 Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into a PH group and PVS groups with mild, moderate, and severe PVS following PH. Hemodynamic parameters were measured using high-frequency ultrasound (5-12 MHz high-frequency linear transducer), including pre-stenotic, stenotic, and post-stenotic portal vein diameters (PVD

resultsPortal vein hemodynamics showed gradient changes as PVS aggravated. For identifying >50% PVS, PVD

conclusionHigh-frequency ultrasonography can be used to grade PVS in rats, with PVD CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: Ultrasonography serves as a first-line technology for diagnosing PVS following LDLT. However, the grading criteria for PVS severity remain unclear. Investigating the use of ultrasonic hemodynamics in the early diagnosis of PVS and grading stenosis severity is important for early postoperative intervention and improving recipient survival rates.
