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

backgroundTransjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) is an effective intervention for managing complications of portal hypertension, particularly acute variceal bleeding (AVB). While effective in reducing portal pressure and preventing rebleeding, TIPS is associated with a considerable risk of overt hepatic encephalopathy (OHE), a complication that significantly elevates mortality rates.

aimTo develop a machine learning (ML) model to predict OHE occurrence post-TIPS in patients with AVB using a 5-year dataset.

methodsThis retrospective single-center study included 218 patients with AVB who underwent TIPS. The dataset was divided into training (70%) and testing (30%) sets. Critical features were identified using embedded methods and recursive feature elimination. Three ML algorithms-random forest, extreme gradient boosting, and logistic regression-were validated

resultsThe median OS of the study cohort was 47.83 ± 22.95 months. Among the models evaluated, logistic regression demonstrated the highest performance with an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.825. Key predictors identified were Child-Pugh score, age, and portal vein thrombosis. Kaplan-Meier analysis revealed that patients without OHE had a significantly longer OS (

conclusionThe ML model accurately predicts post-TIPS OHE and outperforms traditional models, supporting its use in improving outcomes in patients with AVB.
