Differences between protocol and review

In the previous versions, a post hoc decision was made to include a third author to independently extract data. Two post hoc analyses were conducted: concerning blood transfusion requirements and proportion of participants with presence of blood in the stomach.

In the current version, we made the following changes.

  • We changed the wording of the objectives to adhere to the standard Cochrane format.

  • We changed the definition of an outcome: time to discharge instead of length of stay.

  • We used the updated risk of bias tool.

  • We assessed the certainty of evidence as per GRADE and prepared summary of findings tables.

  • We used a random‐effects model for all analyses, and a fixed‐effect model as sensitivity analysis.

  • We deleted the previously done sensitivity analyses for all outcomes by excluding one study at a time.

  • The three post hoc analyses added in the previous versions of the review are now incorporated as sensitivity analyses: number of participants requiring blood transfusion; active bleeding at index endoscopy; blood in stomach at index endoscopy.

  • We clarified the criteria for selective outcome reporting.

  • We clarified that cluster‐randomised and cross‐over trials were not intended to be included.

The PICO model is widely used and taught in evidence-based health care as a strategy for formulating questions and search strategies and for characterizing clinical studies or meta-analyses. PICO stands for four different potential components of a clinical question: Patient, Population or Problem; Intervention; Comparison; Outcome.

See more on using PICO in the Cochrane Handbook.

*The risk in the intervention group (and its 95% confidence interval) is based on the assumed risk in the comparison group and the relative effect of the intervention (and its 95% CI).

CI: confidence interval; RR: risk ratio; OR: odds ratio

GRADE Working Group grades of evidence
High certainty: we are very confident that the true effect lies close to that of the estimate of the effect.
Moderate certainty: we are moderately confident in the effect estimate: the true effect is likely to be close to the estimate of the effect, but there is a possibility that it is substantially different.
Low certainty: our confidence in the effect estimate is limited: the true effect may be substantially different from the estimate of the effect.
Very low certainty: we have very little confidence in the effect estimate: the true effect is likely to be substantially different from the estimate of effect.

aThe certainty of evidence for mortality was rated down one level due to serious study limitations. Two of the five studies had high risk of bias (high risk of performance bias due to lack of blinding; unclear risk of selection bias due to unclear random sequence generation and unclear allocation concealment), and two other studies had unclear risk of bias (unclear risk of selection bias due to unclear allocation concealment). Of note, if by a 'sensitivity approach' the above‐mentioned four studies were excluded, then all the evidence would be derived from one RCT at low risk of bias (Lau 2007): the effect estimate would remain similar, and there would be no study limitations, but the imprecision would further worsen and would be considered very serious (due to very wide 95% CI and only 15 events in total) requiring rating down by two levels for imprecision; therefore, the certainty of evidence would be low with either approach.
bThe certainty of evidence for mortality was further downrated one level due to serious imprecision. The 95% CI of the pooled effect included no effect as well as clinically important benefit and clinically important harm. Small total number of events (102 in total).
cThe certainty of evidence for rebleeding was rated down one level due to serious study limitations. Two of the five studies had high risk of bias (high risk of performance bias and detection bias due to lack of blinding; unclear risk of selection bias due to unclear random sequence generation or unclear allocation concealment, or both), and the other two studies had unclear risk of bias (unclear risk of selection bias due to unclear allocation concealment). Of note, if by a 'sensitivity approach' the above‐mentioned four studies were excluded, then all the evidence would be derived from one RCT at low risk of bias (Lau 2007): the effect estimate would include both clinically important benefit and clinically important harm), and there would be no study limitations, but the imprecision would further worsen and would be considered very serious (due to very wide 95% CI and only 18 events in total) requiring rating down by two levels for imprecision; therefore, the certainty of evidence would be low with either approach.
dThe certainty of evidence for rebleeding was further downrated one level due to serious imprecision. The 95% CI of the pooled effect included no effect as well as clinically important benefit and small unimportant harm. Relatively small total number of events (255 in total).
eThe certainty of evidence for surgery was rated down one level due to serious study limitations. Three of the five studies had high risk of bias (high risk of performance bias and detection bias due to lack of blinding; unclear risk of selection bias due to unclear random sequence generation or unclear allocation concealment, or both), and two other studies had unclear risk of bias (unclear risk of selection bias due to unclear allocation concealment). Of note, if by a 'sensitivity approach' the above‐mentioned four studies were excluded, then all the evidence would be derived from one RCT at low risk of bias (Lau 2007): the effect estimate would remain similar, and there would be no study limitations, but the imprecision would further worsen and would be considered very serious (due to very wide 95% CI and only 10 events in total) requiring downrating by two levels for imprecision; therefore, the certainty of evidence would be low with either approach.
fThe certainty of evidence for surgery was further downrated one level due to serious imprecision. The 95% CI of the pooled effect included no effect as well as clinically important benefit and clinically important harm. Relatively small total number of events (163 in total).
gThe certainty of evidence for the proportion of participants with stigmata of recent haemorrhage at index endoscopy was downrated one level due to serious study limitations. Two of the four studies had high risk of bias (high risk of performance bias and detection bias due to lack of blinding; unclear risk of selection bias due to unclear random sequence generation or unclear allocation concealment, or both), and the other two studies had unclear risk of bias (unclear risk of selection bias due to unclear allocation concealment).
hThe certainty of evidence for the proportion of participants with stigmata of recent haemorrhage at index endoscopy was further downrated one level due to serious imprecision. The 95% CI of the pooled effect included no effect as well as clinically important benefit and clinically important harm.
iThe certainty of evidence for endoscopic haemostatic treatment at index endoscopy was downrated one level in total due to the combination of moderate study limitations, moderate indirectness and moderate imprecision. Two of the three studies had unclear risk of bias (unclear risk of selection bias due to unclear allocation concealment); the same two studies had indirectness because their criteria and technique for endoscopic haemostatic treatment were different from modern practice. However, these two studies contributed only a small proportion of the weight of the meta‐analysis (31% with random‐effects model, 26% with fixed‐effect model). If by a 'sensitivity approach' the above‐mentioned two studies were excluded, then all the evidence would be derived from one RCT at low risk of bias and without indirectness (Lau 2007): the effect estimate would remain identical, and there would be no study limitations, no indirectness but the imprecision would further worsen and would be considered serious (150 events in total) justifying downrating by one level for imprecision alone; therefore, the certainty of evidence would be moderate with either approach.
