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 resulting from non-cirrhotic extrahepatic portal vein obstruction is a cause of severe morbidity related to variceal bleeding in children. In patients not eligible for Meso-Rex bypass, rescue interventions for refractory variceal bleeding have traditionally included surgical porto-systemic shunts or transjugular intrahepatic porto-systemic shunt (TIPS), which alter the normal physiology of liver perfusion and expose children to long-term complications. Portal vein recanalization is a recently described technique which aims to restore the hepatopetal flow through the native portal system but its feasibility is often limited. We aim to present two innovative techniques of percutaneous non-anatomical portal vein recanalization for treating non-cirrhotic extrahepatic portal vein obstruction in children who failed anatomical revascularization.
