Conservative Management for Postoperative Portal Vein Bleeding: A Case Report.
Article in Interventional radiology (Higashimatsuyama-shi (Japan), 2026. 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 73-year-old man underwent radical surgery for hilar cholangiocarcinoma. Complications included portal vein thrombosis on postoperative day 7 and anastomotic bile leakage. On postoperative day 33, massive bloody output (900 mL/day) occurred from a surgical drain. Contrast injection through a replaced drainage catheter revealed a main portal vein perforation at the site of the drain contact via the drain tract. Following conservative management by catheter clamping, computed tomography showed an abscess spilling into the portal vein through the perforation. Percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage was performed for external drainage to prevent further influx. The patient recovered and was discharged on postoperative day 58. Portal vein bleeding should be recognized as a source of postoperative hemorrhage following pancreatobiliary surgery. Conservative management targeting spontaneous tract thrombosis may be a viable treatment option.
