Ileal cavernous haemangioma in an adult presenting as a rare cause of small bowel obstruction.
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 3 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
Haemangiomas of the small bowel are a very rare entity and rarely considered as an aetiology for an intestinal obstruction. Contrast-enhanced CT is the investigation of choice but the lesion can be confused with malignancy or rarely a neuroendocrine tumour. Commonly it presents as abdominal pain with anaemia and/or melaena. With patients presenting without obstruction or acute gastrointestinal bleed, capsule endoscopy has shown to be a useful diagnostic tool.We present here our experience of managing a case of a patient with ileal haemangioma who presented with a subacute small bowel obstruction and underwent a laparoscopic-assisted ileal segmental resection with side-to-side anastomosis. The lesion was a cavernous haemangioma on histopathological analysis.
