Endoscopic ultrasound-guided therapies versus retrograde transvenous obliteration for gastric varices: Multicenter propensity matched analysis.
Article in Endoscopy international open, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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 and study aims: Retrograde transvenous obliteration (RTO) is an established technique for managing fundal varices. Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided glue injection with or without coil is an alternate approach. The present study compared outcomes of EUS-guided therapies with RTO for managing fundal varices. Patients and methods: We retrospectively analyzed data from patients with fundal varices undergoing EUS-guided intervention or RTO at 10 tertiary centers in India and compared after propensity score matching. The primary outcome was variceal bleeding within 1 year. Secondary outcomes included procedure-related adverse events (AEs), variceal obliteration, reintervention, and mortality. Results: A total of 167 patients (EUS 108, RTO 59) were included, with 59 in each group after propensity score matching. Incidence of variceal bleeding (15.3% vs. 13.6%, Conclusions: EUS-guided therapy offers a safe and effective alternative to RTO for managing fundal varices. Although reintervention rate for GVs were higher than for EUS, incidence of AEs and reintervention for EVs was higher with RTO.
