Comparison of clinical outcomes of transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt for refractory ascites and recurrent nonrefractory ascites.
Article in World journal of hepatology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundTransjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) has an important role in the therapy of complications of portal-hypertension-related ascites. Various guidelines now indicate that TIPS is indicated for refractory ascites (RA), but TIPS for recurrent nonrefractory ascites (RNRA) achieved better clinical results.
aimTo compare the clinical outcomes of TIPS for RA and RNRA in patients with complications related to portal hypertension.
methodsThere were 863 patients divided into two main categories who underwent TIPS between September 2016 and September 2021. In category 1, patients had ascites without cirrhotic gastrointestinal bleeding. The patients were divided into group A (RNRA,
resultsThe symptoms of ascites disappeared or were relieved within 1 week in group A compared with group B (
conclusionTIPS has a good therapeutic effect on ascites related to cirrhotic portal hypertension, and early TIPS for RNRA can prolong survival, and prevent progression to RA.
