Cavernomatous Transformation of the Portal Vein in a Seven-Year-Old Patient: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 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
Portal hypertension is a significant cause of upper digestive tract bleeding in pediatric patients. In Mexico, the primary cause of portal hypertension is the cavernomatous transformation of the portal vein (CTPV) secondary to chronic portal vein thrombosis. The portal cavernoma is a morphological anomaly of the portal circulation characterized by dilated and tortuous veins surrounding the porta hepatis formed to circumvent a chronic obstruction. We present the case of a seven-year-old patient with a history of several hospitalizations due to acute upper digestive tract bleeding with subsequent diagnosis confirming the presence of the CTPV. This case underscores the relevance of the pediatric patient history in diagnosing acute upper digestive tract bleeding, emphasizing the need for heightened clinical suspicion and prompt diagnostic and therapeutic intervention in pediatric patients with these characteristics.
