Bleeding Colostomy Varices in a Cirrhotic Patient: Successful Management With Glue-Assisted Antegrade and Retrograde Transvenous Obliteration (GAARTO).
Article in ACG case reports journal, 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
Parastomal varices are rare but potentially life-threatening complication of portal hypertension, often presenting with bleeding at stoma sites and frequently underrecognized due to their ectopic location. We report a 76-year-old man with decompensated cirrhosis and metastatic colon cancer who presented with recurrent colostomy site bleeding 14 years after left hemicolectomy. Computed tomography angiography revealed large portosystemic collaterals consistent with parastomal varices. Owing to high risk associated with transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt, he was treated with glue-assisted antegrade and retrograde transvenous obliteration via inferior mesenteric vein access. The procedure achieved effective hemostasis without complications or recurrence. This case highlights the diagnostic value of computed tomography angiography and the therapeutic potential of glue-assisted antegrade and retrograde transvenous obliteration as a less encephalopathy-prone alternative to transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt in high-risk patients.
