Primary small intestine angiosarcoma mimicking Crohn's disease.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2024. 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
A man in his 40s presented to an emergency department after experiencing worsening abdominal pain for 2 days. Contrast-enhanced CT of the abdomen and pelvis revealed circumferential mural thickening and luminal narrowing of the distal ileum and upstream dilatation of the small intestine, indicating small intestine obstruction. This prompted emergency laparotomy, where two lesions in the distal ileum were identified as the source of his bowel obstruction and resected. Immunohistochemistry of the resected segment revealed a primary small intestine angiosarcoma acting positively for vascular markers ERG and CD31. A subsequent positron emission tomography (PET) scan revealed positive mediastinal metastatic lymphadenopathy without organ metastases.Following his surgery, the patient recovered well and was promptly referred to an oncology unit at a specialised health centre for further treatment. Primary small intestine angiosarcoma is a rare entity in which patients present with non-specific symptoms requiring prompt tissue diagnosis to facilitate multidisciplinary management.
