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

Endohepatology, the integration of advanced endoscopy into hepatology, is rapidly evolving beyond standard diagnostics. This review focuses on its burgeoning vascular applications, particularly through endoscopic ultrasound (EUS). EUS-guided portal pressure gradient measurement (EUS-PPG) is establishing a new paradigm for direct portal hypertension assessment. Therapeutically, EUS enables precise vascular interventions such as coil and glue embolization for gastric varices and spontaneous portosystemic shunts, moving beyond blind techniques. Pioneering, bench-to-bedside procedures like the creation of EUS-guided intrahepatic portosystemic shunts (EUS-IPS) represent the next frontier. While technical complexity remains, EUS is a transformative platform within endohepatology. This article explores these cutting-edge applications and prognosticates future techniques set to redefine the management of complex hepatobiliary and vascular diseases.
