Clinical Characteristics, Risk Factors, and Outcomes of Portal Vein Thrombosis in Non-cirrhotic Patients: A Retrospective Study.

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
Non-cirrhotic portal vein thrombosis (PVT) is a rare but dangerous illness with few studies on risk factors and outcomes. This study sought to evaluate the clinical characteristics, risk factors, anticoagulation response, and consequences of non-cirrhotic PVT in hospitalized patients. We performed a retrospective study on 47 hospitalized patients with suspected non-cirrhotic PVT. Clinical, laboratory, and radiographic data were gathered. Descriptive statistics were employed to describe baseline attributes. The associations between risk factors and outcomes (thrombus resolution, intestinal ischemia, portal hypertension, and mortality) were examined using chi-square, Fisher's exact, Mann-Whitney U, and Kruskal-Wallis tests, if needed. Around 95.7% of patients (45/47) had radiologically verified non-cirrhotic PVT. The average age was 49.4 years (SD 19.5), and 61.7% were female. Obesity (BMI ≥30) was reported in 42.6%. Prothrombotic diseases were found in 17.0%, cancer in 25.5%, and a recent infection in 42.6%. Complete thrombus resolution occurred in 29.8% of cases, with no significant difference across anticoagulation methods (low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) 36.0%, direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) 16.7%, and warfarin 50.0%; p=0.448). Bowel ischemia was substantially linked to recent infection (p
