Can cryptogenic multifocal ulcerous stenosing enteritis (CMUSE) be diagnosed in a patient with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug exposure?
Article in BMJ case reports, 2021. 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
The differential diagnosis for ulcerating small bowel strictures is extensive and includes exposure to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), Crohn's disease, infections, gastrointestinal lymphoma and vasculopathy. It also encompasses the exceptionally rare and poorly understood diagnosis of cryptogenic multifocal ulcerative stenosing enterocolitis (CMUSE), often a diagnosis of exclusion and considerable difficulty. We present a case of persistent proximal jejunal ulcerating stenoses in a 75-year-old Caucasian man, which continued despite cessation of NSAIDs. After extensive clinical, radiographic, laboratory and ultimately surgical pathological appraisal-as well as failure to improve with both misoprostol and budesonide-he was diagnosed with CMUSE and managed with limited small bowel resection. In the presentation of this case, we aim to underscore the diagnostic challenges that clinicians face in differentiating CMUSE from other more common diagnoses, particularly NSAIDs-induced enteropathy.
