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

Colonic varices (CV) are an uncommon cause of gastrointestinal bleeding, with an incidence of only 0.07%. We present a case of a 34-year-old woman with chronic superior mesenteric vein occlusion after pancreatoduodenectomy, leading to diffuse colonic varices with an atypical appearance needing further evaluation. Subsequent angiography confirmed CV, which were treated with catheter-based superior mesenteric vein stenting and variceal coiling. The patient's bleeding was controlled, with plans for continued surveillance. This case emphasizes the diagnostic challenges, treatment complexities, and the need for individualized management strategies for CV, highlighting the urgent need for established guidelines.
