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

This review paper discusses the pathogenesis, classification, and principles of prevention and treatment of portal hypertension, with particular emphasis on gastric varices. Gastric varices are less common than esophageal varices, but have distinct pathophysiology, classification, and management strategies, which justifies presenting them separately from other varices. The topics covered are based on the Baveno VII consensus, recommendations and findings from studies conducted in other countries, as well as on the authors' own clinical experience. This paper is an expanded and updated version of the article published in
