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

As a consequence of cirrhosis, portal hypertension causes resistance to blood flow and leads to the formation of varices. However, colonic variceal hemorrhages are rarely reported but could be a lethal cause of lower gastrointestinal hemorrhage. Currently, there is no consensus on the management of colonic variceal hemorrhage. Variceal ligation, injection sclerotherapy, transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt placement, and balloon-occluded retrograde transvenous obliteration or a combination of the above therapies have been reported with inconsistent success rates. We advocate considering colonic variceal bleeding as a crucial differential diagnosis of lower gastrointestinal bleeding in cirrhotic patients and initiating time-sensitive, definite operative treatment or combination therapy as soon as possible in colonic variceal patients with life-threatening bleeding events, which are often refractory to conservative treatment.
