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

We present the case of a 49-year-old man admitted for acute liver failure complicated by hemodynamically unstable hemobilia secondary to bleeding varices in the bile duct. Placement of a fully covered self-expanding bare metal stent (FCSEMS) was considered the best treatment of choice over hepatic artery embolization in this patient because of the venous source of bleeding. The success of this procedure indicates that FCSEMS can be considered as a bridge to liver transplantation in patients with acute liver failure who develop hemodynamically unstable hemobilia secondary to portal hypertensive biliopathy.
