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

aimThis study aimed to characterize immune remodeling following laparoscopic splenectomy and azygoportal disconnection (LSD) in patients with cirrhotic portal hypertension.

methodsIn this 1-year prospective study, a total of 49 patients with cirrhotic portal hypertension received LSD treatment. We analyzed the dynamic changes in immune function-related indices through serial assessments conducted preoperatively and at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months postoperatively (POM 1, 3, 6, 12), specifically focusing on CD4+ T cell, CD8+ T cell, and CD19+.CD20+ B cell.

resultsPostoperative immune function was remodeled: the relative count of CD4⁺ T cells decreased progressively from 59.13% (53.49%, 69.40%) preoperatively to 43.00% (40.76%, 47.63%) at POM 12, a significant decline of 27.28% (P < 0.001). The relative count of CD8⁺ T cells increased progressively from 29.66% (22.25%, 34.47%) preoperatively to 46.00% (39.47%, 50.52%) at POM 12, a significant rise of 55.09% (P < 0.001). The CD4⁺/CD8⁺ T cell ratio decreased from 2.44 ± 1.19 preoperatively to 1.03 ± 0.51 at POM 12, a significant reduction of 57.79% (P < 0.001). The relative count of CD19⁺/CD20⁺ B cells declined from 19.61 ± 9.44% preoperatively to 10.09 ± 4.33% at POM 12, a significant decrease of 48.55% (P < 0.001). Statistically significant differences were observed in all four immune parameters when comparing preoperative levels with those at POM 1, 3, 6, and 12 (all P < 0.001).

conclusionLSD effectively changes peripheral immune profiles associated with cirrhotic portal hypertension.
