Transarterial embolization for acute lower gastrointestinal bleeding: a retrospective bicentric study.
Article in La Radiologia medica, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. 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
Transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) represents an effective treatment option for acute lower gastrointestinal bleeding (LGIB). This retrospective, bicentric study evaluated the safety and efficacy of TAE in 77 patients with LGIB. The mean patient age was 68.39 ± 17.54 years, and the mean pre-procedural hemoglobin was 7.87 ± 1.89 g/dL. The most common cause of LGIB was angiodysplasia (36.2%). Pre-procedural computed tomography angiography (CTA) detected active bleeding in 83% of cases. Technical success was achieved in 98.7% of patients, and 30-day clinical success was achieved in 87%. The rebleeding rate was 13%, and the ischemic complication rate was 11.7%. There were no significant associations between clinical success and sex, age, coagulopathy, first-line management, active bleeding signs, culprit vessel, superior mesenteric artery, or time between CTA and digital subtraction angiography. TAE is a safe and effective procedure for LGIB, with high technical and acceptable clinical success rates. It should be considered a standard procedure in select patients, especially when endoscopic treatment is contraindicated or not feasible.
