1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Acute lower gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding is self-limiting and managed conservatively. Ongoing bleeding from a lower GI source and hemodynamic instability can create difficult diagnostic and therapeutic dilemmas. The severity of bleeding can necessitate emergent diagnostic and therapeutic interventions. Diverticulosis and angiodysplasias are the most common causes of massive lower GI hemorrhage. Other etiologies that can lead to life-threatening hemorrhage are important to recognize. We present a rare case of massive lower GI hemorrhage attributable to a superior rectal artery pseudoaneurysm. The absence of a preceding traumatic or iatrogenic cause distinguishes this case from other reports in the literature.
