A Rare Case of Idiopathic Noncirrhotic Portal Hypertension in a Young Patient.
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
The most common cause of portal hypertension (PH) is liver cirrhosis. When symptoms of PH develop in noncirrhotic patients secondary to hepatic or systemic disorders, it is termed as noncirrhotic portal hypertension (NCPH) while idiopathic noncirrhotic portal hypertension (INCPH) is the term for PH present without any identifiable underlying cause. INCPH is a diagnosis of exclusion when all other causes of liver cirrhosis have been ruled out. A liver biopsy is required to diagnose INCPH. Presuming that PH is secondary to cirrhosis when no liver biopsy is performed is not always true. The incidence and prevalence of INCPH is increasing, especially in developed countries. We present a rare case of INCPH and portal vein thrombosis in a young 23-year-old male with no significant past medical history and no underlying hepatic or systemic disease.
