Endoscopic ultrasound-guided coil embolization for gastric varices: A promising alternative to traditional therapies.
Review in World journal of gastrointestinal endoscopy, 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
Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) guided vascular interventions have expanded the reach of therapeutic endoscopy to include vascular pathology previously inaccessible by endoscopists. Gastric variceal bleeding comprises 20% of all variceal bleeding and is associated with high morbidity and mortality. Historically, endoscopic injection of thrombosis-inducing agents such as glue has been used. However, glue injection carries potential risks including systemic embolization, damage to the endoscope, and recurrent bleeding. The introduction of hemostatic coils has revolutionized the endoscopic approach, with EUS-guided coil embolization emerging as an effective and safe modality for the management of gastric varices (GVs). When compared with conventional glue injection, EUS-guided embolization is associated with improved visualization, higher efficacy, and better safety profile. Despite its expanding adoption, the standardization of EUS guided embolization remains a challenge. High-quality studies are needed to standardize this promising technique and define its role in clinical practice. In this review, we will discuss the indications, efficacy, techniques, and various approaches for EUS-guided embolization of GVs.
