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

backgroundThe impact of transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) on liver and spleen stiffness remains unclear, as does the association between preoperative liver and spleen stiffness and prognosis following TIPS.

aimTo investigate changes in liver and spleen stiffness after TIPS and examines the relationship between these parameters and the prognosis of post-TIPS patients.

methodsA total of 76 patients with liver cirrhosis and portal hypertension who underwent TIPS were included. Liver and spleen stiffness was assessed using the sound touch quantify (STQ) value, determined

resultsThe liver STQ value demonstrated a marginally decreasing trend over time (

conclusionFollowing TIPS, spleen stiffness exhibited a more pronounced change than liver stiffness and was positively associated with PPG. Preoperative liver stiffness serves as a prognostic indicator for survival in patients undergoing TIPS.
