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

This review delves into the complexities of managing portal vein thrombosis (PVT) in the context of liver transplantation (LT). PVT, which is a common finding in cirrhotic livers, can significantly jeopardize LT outcomes. Here, we explore the incidence, underlying mechanisms, and comprehensive management strategies for PVT throughout the pre-, intra-, and postoperative phases of LT in cirrhotic patients. Before transplantation, key interventions include anticoagulation therapies, transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunts (TIPS), and various endovascular techniques aimed at recanalizing the portal vein. During LT, surgical approaches range from straightforward eversion thrombectomy to more intricate procedures, such as jump grafts from the superior mesenteric vein (SMV), renoportal anastomosis (RPA), and portocaval hemitransposition, tailored to the extent of the thrombosis. In cases of extensive PVT, multivisceral transplantation (MVT) emerges as a viable option. Post-transplant management centers on thromboprophylaxis and anticoagulation, balancing the prevention of thrombotic events with the risk of bleeding complications. This review underscores the critical importance of early identification and proactive management of PVT to enhance outcomes for LT candidates.
