Urostomy-associated stomal variceal hemorrhage secondary to portal hypertension: A case report and interventional radiology-guided management.
Article in Radiology case reports, 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
Stomal varices are a rare manifestation of ectopic portosystemic collateralization in patients with portal hypertension and are most commonly reported in association with ileostomies and colostomies. Stomal variceal hemorrhages are associated with significant morbidity, high rebleeding rates, and mortality of approximately 3%-4% per bleeding episode. To date, there has been limited discussion on treatment strategies for urostomy-associated stomal varices. We report a case of recurrent, transfusion-dependent bleeding from an ileal conduit urostomy in a 58-year-old man with portal hypertension secondary to metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) and alcohol-related cirrhosis. Despite multiple interventional radiology-guided embolization procedures, bleeding persisted until definitive portal decompression was achieved with transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) placement. This case highlights urostomy-associated stomal varices as a less familiar manifestation of ectopic variceal bleeding and emphasizes the importance of addressing portal hypertension along with isolated variceal obliteration. TIPS provided durable hemostasis after variceal embolization failure and should be considered early in refractory stomal bleeding.
