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
purposeThis study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of alternative autologous vessel grafts in creating a Meso-Rex bypass (MRB) compared to the distal splenorenal shunt (DSRS) in resolving symptoms of portal hypertension in children.
methodsAll children with EHPVO evaluated for surgery at Siriraj Hospital from January 2011 to December 2023 were reviewed. Alternative autologous vessel grafts were used in all cases where MRB was feasible. DSRS was performed in patients for whom MRB was not possible. Baseline characteristics and outcomes were compared between the two groups.
resultsEight children underwent successful MRB with alternative autologous vessel grafts, while six required DSRS. Children in the modified MRB group were significantly younger, with upper gastrointestinal bleeding the most common presenting symptom. In contrast, children in the DSRS group had significantly lower preoperative ammonia levels and platelet counts, with hypersplenism being the most common presenting symptom. All patients experienced complete relief of variceal bleeding and hypersplenism post-surgery. Complicated shunt thrombosis occurred after MRB using the gastric coronary vein graft. A significant decrease in ammonia levels was observed after MRB, whereas levels increased after DSRS.
conclusionAlternative autologous vessel grafts are effective for constructing the MRB to resolve portal hypertension compared to DSRS.
