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

Liver cirrhosis is associated with serious complications of portal hypertension (PH), which ultimately causes variceal bleeding and ascites in a life-threatening manner. Non-invasive diagnostic techniques have evolved as an essential tool of early detection and management from a stand point of being dependent on invasive diagnostic techniques. This review summarises the most recent progress in noninvasive diagnostic possibilities in PH in liver cirrhosis in terms of its clinical use and future outlook. A literature review within the last decade and beyond revealed such studies which developed and utilised the indexing technique such as transient elastography, shear wave elastography and other more advanced imaging modalities. Non-invasive techniques which can be used to diagnose PH and monitor it have been made and have been shown to have the possibility of obviating invasive procedures. Given that these are noninvasive techniques, they represent valuable alternatives to invasive PH testing, and future work needs to be directed towards increasing accuracy of these tests and implementing these techniques into routine clinical practise.
