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

Portal cavernoma cholangiopathy (PCC), also referred to as portal biliopathy, encompasses a heterogeneous spectrum of biliary tract abnormalities that develop as a consequence of extrahepatic portal vein obstruction (EHPVO) with subsequent cavernous transformation of the portal vein. Pseudotumoral portal cavernoma represents a distinct subtype of PCC and is characterized by the presence of numerous fine collateral venous channels that encase and simulate the course of the common bile duct (CBD). We report 2 cases of pseudotumoral portal cavernoma secondary to portal vein thrombosis in patients with underlying myeloproliferative disorders. These cases illustrate the diagnostic challenges associated with this rare entity and underscore the central role of cross-sectional imaging in establishing an accurate diagnosis and preventing misinterpretation as a biliary neoplasm.
