Transjugular Intrahepatic Porto-Systemic Shunt (TIPS), Mesenteric Vein Recanalization, and Rectal Varices Embolization Following Unsuccessful Endoscopic Management: A Case Report and Literature Review.
Article in Cureus, 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
Rectal varices are rectal submucosal porto-systemic collaterals that develop secondary to portal hypertension in chronic liver disease. Bleeding from rectal varices is rare but potentially life-threatening. The management is typically endoscopic, with endovascular and surgical options for refractory cases. We present a case of endovascular salvage in a 58-year-old male patient with rectal varices causing life-threatening hematochezia, unresponsive to endoscopic procedures. Extensive rectal varices secondary to mesenteric venous obstruction were successfully managed with transjugular intrahepatic porto-systemic shunting (TIPS), mesenteric vein revascularization, and variceal glue embolization. Immediate technical and clinical success was followed by a long recurrence-free interval. The report highlights the importance of image-guided interventions for recalcitrant rectal variceal bleeding.
