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

objectivesEndoscopic injection sclerotherapy (EIS) is effective for temporary hemostasis, but EIS and balloon-occluded retrograde transvenous obliteration (BRTO) have been reported as effective for secondary prophylaxis of gastric varices (GV) bleeding. This study retrospectively compared EIS and BRTO in patients with GV in terms of the efficacy for secondary prevention of GV bleeding and effects on liver function.

methodsFrom our database of patients with GV who underwent EIS or BRTO between February 2011 and April 2020, a total of 42 patients with GV were retrospectively enrolled. The primary endpoint was the bleeding rate from GV, which was compared between EIS and BRTO groups. Secondary endpoints were liver function after treatment and rebleeding rate from EV, compared between EIS and BRTO groups. Rebleeding rates from GV and EV and liver function after treatment were also compared between EIS-ethanolamine oleate (EO)/histoacryl (HA) and EIS-HA groups.

resultsTechnical success was achieved for all EIS cases, but two cases were unsuccessful in the BRTO group and underwent additional EIS. No significant differences in bleeding rates or endoscopic findings for GV improvement were seen between EIS and BRTO groups. Liver function also showed no significant difference in the amount of change after treatment between groups.

conclusionEIS therapy appears effective for GV in terms of preventing GV rebleeding and effects on liver function after treatment. EIS appears to represent an effective treatment for GV.
