A rare case of small bowel leiomyosarcoma presenting with acute gastro-intestinal bleeding.
Article in BJR case reports, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
A 62-year-old Turkish female was admitted to our hospital with acute, progressive melena. Gastroscopy and colonoscopy could not reveal the cause of the melena. Subsequent CT angiography demonstrated a large, exophytic mass in the ileocecal junction as a source of the haemorrhage, leading to urgent laparotomy and resection. Histopathology revealed a low grade leiomyosarcoma (LMS) and confirmatory immunological staining. Primary LMS of the small bowel is an extremely rare gastrointestinal (GI) malignancy. Presentation with acute GI bleeding is even more exceptional, since LMS is a mainly intramural, exophytic tumour of the bowel wall. Immunohistochemistry plays a crucial role in differentiating LMS from GI stromal tumour. The work up of occult small bowel neoplasms currently consists of MRI enterography or enteroclysis and wireless capsule endoscopy. Treatment is surgical resection. This case highlights the non-specific imaging features of ileal LMS and highlights the management of acute GI bleed.
