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

Transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) dysfunction commonly occurs due to outflow obstruction at the hepatic venous end of the stent due to inadequate cranial stent coverage. Cranial extension of the shunt utilizing the same type of covered stent as is used for TIPS creation, such as TIPS Endoprosthesis (Gore), is a common practice for revision. This series describes four patients who underwent cranial TIPS extension using dedicated venous stents. Venovo (n = 3; Becton Dickinson) and Abre (n = 1; Medtronic) stents were deployed to extend shunts toward the inferior vena cava. Mean cranial extension was 11.25 ± 2.2 mm, with a mean portosystemic gradient reduction of 8.5 ± 2.1 mmHg and no complications. Dedicated venous stent deployment for cranial TIPS extension is a feasible and cost-effective method to optimize hepatic venous outflow.
