A Meta-analysis on Interventional Metrics of Transjugular Intrahepatic Portosystemic Shunt Placement With Cone-beam Computed Tomography Guidance and Fluoroscopy Guidance.
Synthesis in In vivo (Athens, Greece). The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
BACKGROUND/
aimTo integrate the results of studies on interventional metrics of cone-beam computed-tomography (CBCT) guidance and fluoroscopy guidance in transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) placement in a meta-analysis. MATERIALS AND
methodsA systemic literature search was conducted in PubMed, Ovid/Medline, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, Web of Science and Google Scholar. Inclusion criteria were original research articles in English, comparison of CBCT and fluoroscopy guided TIPS placements and reporting of outcome parameters (procedure time, fluorotime, radiation exposure). Study quality was assessed by modified Downs-and-Black checklist. Heterogeneity was evaluated using forest plots, I
resultsIn this meta-analysis, five studies with 218 patients and TIPS placements were included. Study quality was limited with 12±0 points for procedure time, fluorotime and dose area product (DAP). Heterogeneity was indicated in procedure time (I
conclusionCBCT guidance tends to accelerate fluoroscopy and procedure times with slightly elevated DAP compared to fluoroscopy guidance in TIPS placements. Evidence is limited by the small number of feasibility studies. Further investigations need standardized reporting, especially for procedural complications and shunt patency.
