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 vein (PV) tear is an uncommon yet potentially fatal complication associated with balloon angioplasty, particularly when treating PV stenosis caused by tumor invasion and compression. This paper presents the case of a 66-year-old male with advanced perihilar cholangiocarcinoma who experienced a PV tear during a bare-metal stent implantation and balloon angioplasty for PV stenosis induced by tumor invasion. Emergency covered stent implantation effectively manages life-threatening intra-abdominal hemorrhage, leading to successful recovery. This case highlights the importance of recognizing PV tears as complications in patients undergoing balloon angioplasty and underscores the efficacy of emergency covered stent implantation in managing such cases. Additionally, this study contributes to the literature by discussing the management strategies and outcomes associated with PV tears during balloon angioplasty.
