Predictive value of early postoperative hemodynamic parameters of Rex shunt graft for graft thrombosis in children with cavernous transformation of the portal vein.
Article in Pediatric surgery international, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectiveTo investigate the predictive value of early hemodynamic parameters within Rex graft for postoperative graft thrombosis in children with cavernous transformation of the portal vein (CTPV).
methodsA retrospective analysis was performed on clinical data of 34 children with CTPV undergoing primary Rex shunt at Hunan Children's Hospital between May 2010 and November 2025. Serial ultrasonography was conducted to measure hemodynamic parameters at both ends of the graft. Patients were divided into a non-complication group (Group A, n = 22) and a vascular complication group (Group B, n = 12). Intergroup hemodynamic differences were compared, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were plotted to determine the optimal predictive cutoff value for graft thrombosis.
resultsThe median postoperative follow-up duration was 40 months, and vascular complications occurred in 12 patients (35.3%), including 5 graft thrombosis cases, 5 anastomotic stenosis cases and 2 cases of graft compression by local edema. The median time to complication onset was 7 (2, 730) days. Hemodynamic parameters remained stable throughout the first postoperative week in Group A (all P > 0.05). The mesenteric graft end with a mean flow velocity of 56.32 ± 19.51 cm/min and mean flow volume of 394.91 ± 225.83 mL/min maintained graft patency, while markedly decreased velocity indicated high thrombotic risk. ROC analysis showed the area under the curve (AUC) of mesenteric velocity was 0.986 (P < 0.001), with an optimal cutoff value of 26 cm/min, a specificity of 90.9% and a sensitivity of 100%.
conclusionSerial monitoring of early mesenteric hemodynamic parameters of the Rex graft offers favorable predictive performance for graft thrombosis, which facilitates timely clinical intervention and improves pediatric patients' prognosis.
