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

A case of high-risk giant esophagogastric varices was treated by blood supply route-targeted endoscopic injection sclerotherapy with multiple ligations (EISML). An endoscope was inserted in the left lower semi-lateral position under general anesthesia in the digital subtraction angiography room. The C-arm was rotated to obtain a frontal view for fluoroscopy. Before puncturing the esophageal varices, the balloon attached to the tip of the endoscope was inflated to block the variceal blood flow. At puncture, an intravascular injection was confirmed fluoroscopically, and a total of 18 m of 5% ethanolamine oleate with iopamidol was injected retrogradely at 5-minute intervals from the esophagogastric varices to the root of the left gastric vein, maintaining stagnation for 25 minutes. The variceal site of the injection was ligated immediately after the removal of the needle to prevent variceal bleeding. Multiple variceal ligations were added to stop the variceal blood flow. Contrast-enhanced CT 3 days after EISML showed the thrombus formation in esophagogastric varices and the left gastric vein. The blood supply route-targeted EISML can be a feasible procedure for giant esophagogastric varices.
