Stomal variceal haemorrhage in ileal conduit diversion: a rare case report and literature review.
Article in Frontiers in oncology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
Background: Radical cystectomy is typically recommended for managing bladder cancer, with ileal conduit diversion being a prevalent form of urinary diversion. Stomal variceal haemorrhage is a rare complication of ileal bladder diversion and poses diagnostic and therapeutic challenges that can escalate to life-threatening circumstances. Hepatic cirrhosis and cancer liver metastasis-induced portal hypertension are considered the main causes of stomal varices. However, the real-world expertise in the pathophysiology of, diagnostic approach to, and overall management strategy for stomal variceal haemorrhage in ileal conduit diversion is limited. Case presentation: Herein, we present a rare case of a 77-year-old man with bladder cancer who developed stomal variceal haemorrhage after undergoing radical cystectomy and ileal conduit urinary diversion. Imaging revealed that the peristomal varices communicated with the subcutaneous veins of the abdominal wall without apparent portal hypertension. Transhepatic coil embolization of bleeding stomal varices was successfully performed via a transhepatic antegrade approach. No complications or stomal variceal haemorrhage occurred during a 6-month follow-up period. Conclusion: Transhepatic coil embolization may be considered an initial therapeutic option for patients who experience stomal variceal haemorrhage. Comprehensive management of underlying liver disease and portal hypertension is needed at follow-up visits. We describe successful experience with the precise treatment of this rare and atypical disease, conduct a thorough review of the pertinent literature, and deliberate on optimized diagnostic and therapeutic procedures.
