Endoscopic Variceal Therapy With Multisystemic Glue Embolism: A Case Report and Narrative Review of a Rare but Severe Complication.
Article in Case reports in critical care, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Gastroesophageal variceal bleeding is a life-threatening complication of portal hypertension in patients with cirrhosis. Endoscopic cyanoacrylate injection is an established therapy for variceal hemorrhage, but it may lead to rare systemic complications, including glue embolization. The authors report the case of a patient with decompensated cirrhosis who developed acute gastroesophageal variceal bleeding, managed with endoscopic variceal ligation and cyanoacrylate injection. Postprocedural investigations revealed multiple emboli involving the cerebral, pulmonary, coronary, and renal vascular territories. The present case report and review of the literature highlight the need for increased awareness of glue embolization as a potential adverse effect of cyanoacrylate therapy. Careful patient selection, refined endoscopic technique, and close postprocedure monitoring are essential to minimizing the risks of embolization, reducing complications and optimizing outcomes.
