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

Portopulmonary hypertension (PoPH) is a condition characterized by the elevation of the arterial pulmonary pressure because of portal hypertension which leads to right heart failure and finally death. The most common cause of PoPH is hepatic cirrhosis, but patients with non-cirrhotic portal hypertension can also develop this complication. It is considered that between 2% and 10% of patients with portal hypertension can develop PoPH, and it is a major determinant factor of prognosis, especially in the context of liver transplantation. Clinically, the symptoms are nonspecific and are usually due to worsening right ventricular dysfunction. The treatment of PoPH consists of vasomodulating therapy, but several future challenges remain in the treatment of PoPH patients. In the absence of medical treatment or liver transplantation, the 1-year survival rate is 35%-46% and 5-year survival rate is 4-14%. Despite advances in understanding this disease, several unresolved questions remain regarding screening, diagnosis, treatment, and liver transplantation.
