Splenic artery aneurysm as a rare cause of an upper GIT bleed.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB) is a common life-threatening presentation in the emergency department. Causes are typically divided into variceal and non-variceal bleeds. Non-variceal pathologies typically include bleeding peptic ulcers, haemorrhagic gastritis and Mallory Weiss Tears. Occassionally, less common pathologies are encountered such as Dieulafoy's lesions, haemosuccus pancreas, haemobilia or aorto-enteric fistula. The following report documents the case of a 49-year-old man who presented with an UGIB. His risk factors included a history of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug, smoking and ethanol abuse. Despite his typical presentation and risk factors, investigation revealed an unusual and rare pathology. He was found to have a giant splenic artery aneurysm, abutting and eroding the gastric mucosa. Diagnosis was made using a combination of gastro-oesophagoscopy and CT scan. Successful treatment consisted of angio-embolisation of the aneurysm.
