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

Gastroesophageal variceal bleeding is a life-threatening complication in patients with liver cirrhosis and portal hypertension. The endoscopic injection of cyanoacrylate is considered as the first-line alternative for gastric varices treatment; however, the incidence of adverse events supports the endoscopic ultrasound-guided approach. Endoscopic ultrasound-guided interventions are a safe and feasible technique for the injection of sclerosants, cyanoacrylate, thrombin, and the deployment of coils into targeted vessels. This review article aims to offer an overview of the role of endoscopic ultrasound-guided vascular therapy and present the available data regarding endoscopic ultrasound-guided management of gastrointestinal bleeding and other vascular therapies. The available data have shown the superiority of endoscopic ultrasound-guided endovascular therapy over the endoscopic technique, which supports the implementation of endoscopic ultrasound-guided therapy in therapeutical algorithms and guidelines. Regarding whether injecting cyanoacrylate, the deployment of coils, or combined therapy, we recommend the endoscopic ultrasound-guided combined therapy in patients with gastric varices due to the high eradication rate with lower rebleeding and reintervention rates. Multicenter worldwide studies are required to confirm the actual clinical applicability of endoscopic ultrasound-guided endovascular therapy and establish treatment algorithms. Endoscopic ultrasound offered a safe and effective alternative in the management of variceal and nonvariceal gastrointestinal bleeding, with the implementation of new diagnostic and treatment options for various gastrointestinal conditions, representing a new territory for research and development.
