Successful endoscopic vacuum therapy in diffuse gastric hemorrhage secondary to acute ischemia: a case report.
Article in iGIE : innovation, investigation and insights, 2026. 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
Acute gastric ischemia is rare and may lead to diffuse mucosal bleeding, often refractory to conventional endoscopic therapy. We describe the case of a 42-year-old critically ill burn patient who developed persistent upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage unresponsive to medical treatment, in whom the novel use of endoscopic vacuum therapy (EVT) was undertaken. Serial endoscopies demonstrated progressive mucosal healing, reduced necrosis, and effective bleeding control. EVT promoted granulation tissue and ulcer healing, avoiding surgical intervention. No EVT-related adverse events occurred. Despite successful hemostasis, the patient later died from a sepsis-related adverse event. In conclusion, this case illustrates EVT as a viable and effective approach for managing refractory diffuse gastric bleeding secondary to ischemia. EVT may offer a minimally invasive alternative to surgery in critically ill patients where standard therapies fail.
