Figure 6 Impact of gastric varices type on the efficacy of ligation vs cyanoacrylate injection/obturation. The forest plot displays risk ratios (RR) for isolated gastric varices type 1 (IGV1) and gastroesophageal varices types 1 and 2 (GOV1, GOV2). Cyanoacrylate was associated with a statistically significant reduction in events overall (RR = 1.72, P = 0.02) and specifically in the GOV1 subgroup (RR = 1.83, P = 0.04). CI: Confidence interval; IGV: Isolated gastric varices; GOV: Gastroesophageal varices.
