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

Colonic diverticular could bleed recurrently, and, sometimes, fatal massive bleeding could occur. However, the choice of endoscopic hemostasis remains controversial. Although the over-the-scope clip (OTSC) method has been reported to be effective, it has not been fully evaluated due to the small number of cases. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of the OTSC method for colonic diverticular bleeding. Between August 2017 and December 2020, 36 consecutive patients, including those who could not be treated using endoscopic band ligation (EBL) and those in whom re-bleeding had occurred after EBL, underwent the OTSC method for hemostasis of colonic diverticular bleeding at Hyogo Prefectural Awaji Medical Center. The procedure success rate, adverse events rate, early phase re-bleeding rate (within 30 days following primary hemostasis), and the requirement rate for additional transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) or surgery were the outcomes assessed. The outcomes were procedure success rate 100%, adverse events rate 0%, early phase re-bleeding rate 8.3%, and additional TAE or surgery rate 0%. These results suggest that the OTSC method is a safe and effective treatment for managing colonic diverticular bleeding.
