Acute Variceal Bleeding 11 Years After a Successful Mesoatrial Shunt for Budd-Chiari Syndrome: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2025. 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
A 31-year-old male patient underwent a mesoatrial shunt surgery in July 2013, after he presented with a few months' history of recurrent abdominal pain and was subsequently diagnosed with Budd-Chiari syndrome. After the shunt surgery, he remained stable for around 11 years without any follow-up, until he presented to the hospital in May 2024 with acute variceal bleeding. The patient presented with haematemesis, abdominal pain, and melaena. He received a blood transfusion along with resuscitation measures and medical management for suspected acute variceal bleeding. He underwent endoscopic variceal banding successfully in less than 12 hours after his presentation. Eventually, he was referred to a higher centre where he underwent a transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPSS) procedure and was eventually discharged home in good condition. In conclusion, mesoatrial shunt may still be considered as a viable treatment option for Budd-Chiari syndrome, when an experienced intervention radiologist for TIPSS or liver transplant is not available.
