Spray coagulation as an alternative to argon plasma coagulation for bleeding portal hypertensive gastropathy.
Article in iGIE : innovation, investigation and insights, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. 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
Electrosurgical thermoablative modalities are commonly used for endoscopic hemostasis in nonvariceal sources of GI bleeding. Argon plasma coagulation (APC) is a noncontact type of thermoablative technique often used for treatment of bleeding gastric antral vascular ectasias and portal hypertensive gastropathy (PHG). However, its use depends on the availability of a dedicated APC unit, proprietary disposable probes, and the argon gas itself. This became a limitation in case of a 49 year old man with ethanol related cirrhosis of liver, who presented with diffusely bleeding PHG. In this situation, we did not have argon at hand, and improvised with an alternative technique of spray coagulation to successfully achieve hemostasis. Spray coagulation can potentially be used as an alternative to APC in mucosal bleeding.
