Breaking Patterns: A Case of Dieulafoy Lesion in a Young Patient Without Comorbid Conditions.
Article in Cureus, 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 Dieulafoy lesion is an abnormal artery located in the gastric submucosa that represents a rare cause of upper gastrointestinal bleeding. These lesions typically present as massive hemorrhages in older patients, with multiple medical comorbidities. The lesions are diagnosed with endoscopy and treated with hemostasis by clip placement or coagulation. This case report is that of a rare presentation of this rare condition in a younger 18-year-old patient with no medical comorbidities. He presented with hematemesis, melena, and syncope in the setting of ibuprofen self-treatment for a recent upper viral illness. This medication use is a proposed inciting factor for the bleeding lesion, though he had a history of a splenic artery embolization following a remote motor vehicle accident, which could represent a mechanism for a rare acquired lesion. A gastroenterologist was consulted and assisted in the diagnosis and management of this patient. His lesion was identified and treated within 24 hours of his presentation.
