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

Jejunal varices are a rare cause of gastrointestinal bleeding. In most cases, they are due to portal hypertension related to liver cirrhosis, less frequently to superior mesenteric vein stenosis (SMV). In this article we describe an unusual case of a 61 year-old male patient who arrived at our emergency department with intermittent variceal bleeding due to jejunal varices causing melena and subsequent chronic anaemia. Patient was indeed discovered to have primary idiopathic superior mesenteric vein stenosis. We managed to treat this patient via SMV stenting through percutaneous transhepatic approach. In cases of upper-GI bleed with negative endoscopy for active bleeding, a contrast-enhanced CT scan should be performed to diagnose jejunal varices and their underlying cause, such as SMV stenosis which is best treated with percutaneous phlebography.
