Risk factors for esophagogastric variceal-related poor outcomes in primary biliary cholangitis: A prospective cohort study.
Article in iLIVER, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Background and aims: Esophagogastric varices (EGV) are common complications of primary biliary cholangitis (PBC). We examined the risk factors for variceal bleeding-related liver transplantation (LT) or death. Methods: This prospective observational cohort study involved PBC in our hospital from 1 January 2005 to 1 January 2020. The clinical endpoints were variceal bleeding-related LT and death. Survival analysis was performed using the Kaplan-Meier estimate, cox regression analysis was performed to investigate risk factors. Results: PBC with EGV had significantly shorter survival than those without ( Conclusion: This study provides evidence that AST, INR and CHE are major risk factors for variceal bleeding-related poor outcomes in PBC. For PBC with EGV, a good biochemical response to UDCA and endoscopic prophylaxis may improve survival. These findings can aid for guiding initial PBC risk stratification and screening endoscopy in patients without EGV.
