Percutaneous Transhepatic Obliteration for Treating Stomal Variceal Bleeding Using a Microballoon Catheter with Systemic Drainage Vein Compression.
Article in Interventional radiology (Higashimatsuyama-shi (Japan), 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
We report a case of successful treatment of stomal variceal bleeding with percutaneous transhepatic obliteration using a microballoon catheter concomitantly with drainage vein compression. A 72-year-old man with alcoholic cirrhosis was admitted to our hospital due to repeated hemorrhage of stomal varices. Percutaneous transhepatic obliteration was then selected for treatment because computed tomography revealed the stomal varices being fed by only two branches of the superior and inferior mesenteric veins. During microballoon inflation, 5% ethanolamine oleate with iopamidol was injected into each branch, and the systemic drainage veins were compressed by the gauze from the body surface near the stoma. No rebleeding from the stomal varices has been observed 14 months after the procedure.
