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

Noncirrhotic portal hypertension is defined as portal hypertension in the absence of cirrhosis or advanced hepatic fibrosis. We present an 85-year-old man with recurrent hematemesis, initially presumed to have decompensated cirrhosis based on imaging. However, liver biopsy revealed pseudocirrhosis due to sinusoidal infiltration by metastatic spindle cell malignancy. This case underscores the importance of histological confirmation when imaging suggests cirrhosis, as infiltrative malignancies can mimic cirrhosis and produce clinically significant portal hypertension.
