Endovascular embolization for the treatment of epistaxis: Systematic review and meta-analysis.
Synthesis in Interventional neuroradiology : journal of peritherapeutic neuroradiology, surgical procedures and related neurosciences, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundEndovascular embolization (EE) is a treatment option for epistaxis refractory to first-line interventions. Data regarding embolization is limited to small case series and a meta-analysis has not been performed.
methodsPubMed, Scopus, and EMBASE were used to identify studies that reported outcomes for at least 10 patients undergoing EE for epistaxis. Outcomes included procedural success, rebleeding, and complications. Pooled rates for each outcome were obtained with random effects models.
resultsA total of 44 studies comprising 1664 patients met the inclusion criteria. The mean age ranged from 28.1 to 67 years and there were 28.4% females. The pooled procedural success rate was 87% (95% CI 83.9-89.6, I
conclusionEE for epistaxis has a high rate of procedural success. Interventionalists should be aware of the risk for rebleeding, especially among patients with HHT.
