Core Tip	Current international consensus recommends restrictive transfusion for upper gastrointestinal bleeding. However, this recommendation is largely based on expert opinions. We have performed the present meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials, which potentially supported the superiority of restrictive over liberal transfusion for upper gastrointestinal bleeding.
