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

Hepatic artery vasospasm (HAV) is a relatively uncommon vascular phenomenon that can arise after liver transplants. Its occurrence in a native liver presents an atypical clinical picture. There is a lack of sufficient data on its etiology, incidence, diagnostics and management leaving room for further investigation. This report presents a rare case of HAV in a 40-year-old woman with a native liver. A recent hip fall led to her admission, followed by markedly elevated liver enzymes one week later. Doppler ultrasound (US) revealed patent hepatic vasculature with an elevated resistivity index, which supported our presumed diagnosis. Because of limited data on preventative management for this diagnosis, we used the management of vasospastic angina to start a treatment course, which included a calcium channel blocker and a Statin. Her liver enzymes began to normalize, indicating a favorable response to treatment, ultimately leading to discharge.
