Use of self-expanding metal stents for difficult variceal bleed.
Article in Indian journal of gastroenterology : official journal of the Indian Society of Gastroenterology, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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/
aimPatients with variceal band ligation (VBL)-induced ulcer bleeding and those with persisting bleeding in spite of VBL carry a high mortality. Balloon tamponade and transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt have limitations in terms of complications, cost, and availability. The aim was to evaluate the efficacy of Sx-Ella Danis stent in persistent or complicated variceal bleeding.
methodsTwelve patients with either persistent variceal bleeding or VBL-induced ulcer bleeding were treated with the placement of Sx-Ella Danis stents. The patients were followed up for mortality, complications, and efficacy to control bleeding.
resultsStents were inserted successfully in all 12 patients (with immediate hemostasis). There was an immediate cessation of bleeding in all 12 patients with no stent-related complication. Five out of 12 patients died during 30 days post-procedure due to worsening encephalopathy or sepsis. Enteral feeding could be started in all 12 patients 6 h after stent placement. One patient had bleeding 10 days after stent removal and was re-stented but expired 7 days later. Stents were removed in eight patients at a mean duration of 17.5 days. (range 7 to 30 days).
conclusionsSx-Ella Danis stent is a useful modality to control persistent variceal bleeding as well VBL-related ulcer bleeding.
