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.
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
Background and Aims: Further decompensation in cirrhosis is associated with increased mortality. However, reliable tools to predict further decompensation after transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) are currently limited. This study aimed to investigate the incidence and risk factors of further decompensation within one year post-TIPS in patients with cirrhosis and to develop a predictive model for identifying high-risk individuals. Methods: This retrospective cohort study enrolled 152 patients with cirrhosis undergoing TIPS for variceal bleeding and/or refractory ascites (January 2018-January 2024). Patients were stratified according to one-year decompensation outcomes. LASSO regression and multivariable logistic analysis were used to identify predictors, and a nomogram was constructed and internally validated using bootstrapping (1,000 replicates). Results: Among the 152 patients (median age 57.5 years [IQR 50.0-66.0]; 58.6% male; 58.6% viral/alcohol-associated etiology), 65.8% (100/152) achieved clinical stability at one year post-TIPS, while 34.2% (52/152) developed further decompensation. LASSO regression identified right hepatic lobe volume, spleen volume, and portal pressure gradient (PPG) reduction as key predictors, all independently associated with further decompensation risk in multivariable analysis (OR [95% CI]: 0.683 [0.535-0.873], 1.435 [1.240-1.661], and 0.961 [0.927-0.996], respectively). The nomogram demonstrated superior discrimination compared with PPG reduction alone and benchmark prognostic scores (AUC 0.854 [0.792-0.915] vs. 0.619-0.652; ΔAUC +0.201-+0.235, Conclusions: This validated model, combining hepatosplenic volumetry and PPG reduction, accurately stratifies further decompensation risk post-TIPS and may guide targeted surveillance and preventive interventions.
