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

Portal hypertension (PH) leads to life-threatening clinical manifestations such as bleeding from gastro-oesophageal varices, ascites and its complications, and portosystemic encephalopathy. It can develop because of advanced chronic liver disease (ACLD) or due to rarer causes such as vascular liver disease. Reference standard methods to assess PH in ACLD include the measurement of hepatic venous pressure gradient and endoscopy, which have limitations due to their high resource utilisation and invasiveness. Non-invasive tests (NITs) have entered clinical practice and allow invasive procedures to be reserved for patients with indeterminate findings on NITs or for specific clinical questions. In this review, we present an update on the role of NITs, and in particular ultrasound elastography, to diagnose PH in ACLD and vascular liver disease, and to stratify the risk of liver-related events. We also provide insights into the open research questions and design of studies in this field.
