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

Advanced endoscopic methods like endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) have recently been applied for the management of complications related to cirrhosis. This includes novel techniques to measure portal pressure gradients, esophageal, gastric, and ectopic varices management, and EUS-assisted treatment of liver tumors. Management of liver tumors has seen significant changes in recent years, and many minimally invasive procedures have been approved, especially in the management of liver cell carcinoma. These are specialized procedures and are performed only in patients with cirrhosis in specialized centers. There are concerns for complications in patients with cirrhosis due to their increased risk of bleeding and the altered hemostatic milieu. This minireview summarizes the recent evidence on using EUS in the management of cirrhosis-related complications.
