Visualization and endoscopic treatment of ruptured anastomotic varices using red dichromatic imaging: a case report.
Article in Clinical journal of gastroenterology, 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
Red Dichromatic Imaging (RDI) is an advanced endoscopic technology designed to enhance the visualization of gastrointestinal bleeding. While RDI with Mode 2 has demonstrated significant efficacy in the detection and management of esophageal varices, its role in treating anastomotic varices remains underexplored. We report a challenging case of anastomotic variceal rupture, highlighting the advantages of RDI in precise localization and treatment. A woman in her 70 s with a history of pancreaticoduodenectomy for pancreatic head cancer and liver metastasis, presented with melena, fever, and suspected cholangitis during chemotherapy. Laboratory findings revealed anemia, leukocytosis, and elevated biliary enzymes. Blood transfusion and antibiotic therapy were initiated. CT revealed portal vein stenosis and contrast extravasation into the jejunum. Endoscopy showed a white plug at the gastrojejunal anastomosis, but no visible varices on white light imaging. RDI with Mode 2 identified subtle color changes, enabling successful N-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate injection. Accumulation of lipiodol confirmed variceal obliteration. No further bleeding occurred, and the patient was discharged in stable condition on hospital day 19. This case suggests that RDI may improve the detection and therapeutic precision of ectopic varices and serve as a valuable adjunct in their management.
