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

A male patient in his 60s with advanced heart failure and a HeartMate3 left ventricular assist device (LVAD) was admitted to our hospital for the sixth time in one year due to recurrent small-bowel bleeding. Nine months after admission, conservative treatment failed to achieve stable hemostasis. Gastroenterologists and surgeons performed double-balloon enteroscopy with mini-laparotomy and achieved complete hemostasis with endoscopic clipping and surgical suturing from the serosal side to multiple bleeding sites. The patient was discharged without any signs of rebleeding. In conclusion, our method represents an effective strategy for managing challenging SBB cases in patients with LVAD.
