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

While direct endoscopic cyanoacrylate injection (DEI-CYA) is the standard hemostatic therapy, it is associated with risks of ectopic embolization and ulceration. EUS-guided injection (EUS-CYA) allows for precise targeting of feeder vessels, potentially improving outcomes. A comprehensive search was conducted across PubMed, Web of Science, CENTRAL, and Scopus for RCTs up to January 2026. Primary outcomes included early and late rebleeding rates and variceal eradication. Risk ratios (RRs) and standardized mean differences (SMD) were pooled using a random-effects model. Five RCTs involving 440 patients were included. EUS-CYA was associated with a significant reduction in late rebleeding compared with DEI-CYA (RR: 0.40; 95% confidence intervals [CI]: 0.27-0.60;
