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 hypertension-related complications pose a significant risk for liver failure post-transplantation. Thus, accurate monitoring of intraoperative portal venous pressure (PVP) is crucial. However, current PVP monitoring techniques requiring direct percutaneous puncture carry the risk of graft damage. In this study, we present an innovative non-puncture PVP monitoring device (PVPMD) using a 3D-printed prototype. PVPMD design is inspired by the sphygmomanometer principle, and strategically encompasses the portal vein and enables precise PVP measurement through blood flow ultrasonography after temporary occlusion. By a series of mini-pig experiments, the prototype PVPMD demonstrated a strong correlation with invasive catheter measurements in the main trunk of the portal vein (
