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
Objective: To assess the effects of inferior vena cava and/or hepatic vein (IVC±HV) venoplasty on liver volumetry and function in individuals with Budd Chiari syndrome (BCS) who present with ascites and at least one patent hepatic vein. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 17 patients with BCS (6 males and 11 females, average age of 42.3 ± 11.9 years) who underwent IVC venoplasty for ascites caused by IVC blockage and at least one patent HV, either pre- or post-venoplasty. Liver function tests and abdominal CT scans were performed before the procedure and at three and six months post-venoplasty. The changes in liver function and volume before and after venoplasty were analyzed. Results: Each of the 17 patients successfully underwent IVC±HV venoplasty. During the median follow-up period of six months, all patients survived. Comparisons with preoperative conditions showed significant improvements in ascites and liver function three and six months after the procedure ( Conclusions: IVC±HV venoplasty produced satisfactory clinical results in BCS patients. Following the intervention, there was a progressive decrease in hepatic congestion and an improvement in liver function which correlated with decrease in liver volume.
