Resolution of gastric antral vascular ectasia following cessation of imatinib.
Review in BMJ case reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 female patient in her 80s presented with chronic iron-deficiency anaemia secondary to gastric antral vascular ectasia (GAVE), despite repeated endoscopic treatment. Her medical history was notable for chronic myeloid leukaemia, for which she took imatinib. Due to a possible association between imatinib and GAVE described in a small number of case reports, cessation of imatinib was trialled. This led to a significant improvement in the patient's anaemia and resolution of GAVE on repeat endoscopy. GAVE is an uncommon cause of gastrointestinal bleeding, the aetiology of which is uncertain. This report describes an approach to the differential diagnosis of chronic iron-deficiency anaemia and an overview of GAVE syndrome. It illustrates the benefit of broadening the differential when the diagnosis is uncertain and the utility of case reports in informing the differential diagnosis.
