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

Upper gastrointestinal tract bleeding is a common condition that can cause hemodynamic instability and death if left untreated. Endoscopic hemostasis is often successful; however, some patients may develop refractory bleeding. Pharmacologic management with octreotide is beneficial in patients with variceal bleeding and has been shown in some studies to be effective in refractory bleeding due to angiodysplasia. There is a paucity of literature regarding the usage of long-term octreotide in refractory bleeding secondary to a peptic ulcer. We present a case of a bleeding gastric ulcer that was refractory to endoscopic management but responsive to long-term octreotide therapy.
