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

Background: Porto sinusoidal vascular disease (PSVD) is an unusual vascular disorder defined by raised portal venous pressure without cirrhosis or other common causes of liver pathology. The disease pathogenicity is not well understood. Case Report: We report a rare case of Porto Sinusoidal Vascular Disorder (PSVD). This patient presented with hematemesis and melena several times, despite having no prior history of chronic disease. An endoscopic evaluation revealed 4 cords of oesophageal varices. The exact cause of portal hypertension was not identified despite the patient undergoing MRI, liver biopsy, abdominal and hepatic sonography, and other required laboratory tests. This patient was performed band ligation and received beta blockers, proton pump inhibitors and whole blood transfusion. Conclusion: This case highlights the complexity of the diagnosing and managing of PSVD. Despite the patient receiving symptomatic treatment, he still has pancytopenia due to splenomegaly and needs close monitoring and flow-up.
