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

Gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding is associated with a high risk of mortality. While conventional endoscopic hemostasis methods, including epinephrine injection, heater probe coagulation, hemostatic clips, and band ligation, achieve an overall hemostasis rate of 85%-90%, 10%-20% of patients do not respond to these treatments. Several novel powders have shown promise as effective hemostatic agents. In this review, we discuss the evolution of endoscopic hemostasis and explore the potential of innovative hemostatic powder treatments in managing GI bleeding. Relevant articles were identified by searching PubMed from 2010 to 2025 using the keywords "hemostatic powder", "GI bleeding", and "endoscopic hemostasis". A review of recent PubMed articles on topical hemostatic powders used in endoscopy, including Hemospray, EndoClot, Ankaferd Blood Stopper, Nexpowder, and various drug-based powders, demonstrated that these agents offered high immediate hemostasis rates exceeding 90%. Topical hemostatic powders are valuable for managing active GI bleeding, especially when conventional endoscopic techniques are unsuccessful or technically challenging, such as refractory and tumor bleeding.
