Rare but critical: Aberrant vascular communication leading to multiorgan ischemia after prophylactic gastroduodenal artery embolization for refractory upper gastrointestinal bleeding.
Article in Radiology case reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB) carries a high risk of morbidity and mortality despite recent improvements in diagnosis and management. Many patients failed to respond to initial endoscopic and medical management. Transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) is now considered the next line of therapy over surgery in refractory UGIB because of its good safety profile and high technical and clinical success rate. We discuss the case of a 66-year-old female patient who presented with massive UGIB and had TAE after endoscopic hemostasis failed. She developed widespread ischemia involving multiple organs following the procedure, including the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, spleen, and small intestine, as a result of an abnormal communication between the gastroduodenal artery (GDA) and superior mesenteric artery (SMA), resulting in PVA particle reflux and widespread ischemic injury. It is important to carefully evaluate the vascular anatomic variations before the procedure to avoid potential complications of ischemia.
