Spinal Hematoma as a Rare Complication of Balloon-occluded Retrograde Transvenous Obliteration for Gastric Varices: A Case Report.
Article in Interventional radiology (Higashimatsuyama-shi (Japan), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
We report a case of lumbar spinal hematoma caused by balloon-occluded retrograde transvenous obliteration for gastric varices in a woman in her 60 s with liver cirrhosis due to non-alcoholic steatohepatitis. The patient presented to the emergency department with a chief complaint of sudden nausea and hematemesis. Endoscopic sclerotherapy was performed, followed by balloon-occluded retrograde transvenous obliteration for residual varices. During balloon-occluded retrograde transvenous obliteration, she complained of back pain and subsequently developed thigh pain. CT and MR scans revealed subdural hematoma and subarachnoid hemorrhage within the spinal canal at the thoracolumbar level. It is presumed that balloon-occluded retrograde transvenous obliteration altered blood flow in the paravertebral plexus, causing an intraspinal canal hemorrhage. To our knowledge, this study is the first to report a case of an iatrogenic spinal hematoma caused by balloon-occluded retrograde transvenous obliteration.
