Endoscopic Band Ligation of Bleeding Duodenal Varices.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Ectopic variceal bleeding is an uncommon cause of gastrointestinal bleeding and carries a high mortality. Management depends on provider comfort and resource availability as treatment guidelines are lacking due to the infrequent occurrence of bleeding ectopic varices. We present a case of a middle-aged woman who presented with melena and anemia requiring transfusion. She was diagnosed with cirrhosis, and computed tomography of the abdomen revealed active bleeding at the proximal duodenum. She underwent emergent esophagogastroduodenoscopy, which showed actively bleeding duodenal varices secondary to portosystemic shunt from portal hypertension. Endoscopic hemostasis was achieved with variceal band ligation, a useful modality when alternative methods of emergent variceal management are unavailable. Given the risk of recurrent bleeding, the patient underwent embolization of varices by interventional radiology.
