Anorectal hemangioma, a rare cause of lower gastrointestinal bleeding, treated with selective embolization: A case report.
Article in World journal of gastrointestinal surgery, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundAnorectal hemangioma is a rare and frequently misdiagnosed cause of lower gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding. Here, we present a minimally invasive therapy with selective embolization. CASE SUMMARY: A 21-year-old male patient experienced painless rectal bleeding since childhood and was treated for ulcerative colitis. Diagnostic studies later revealed specific characteristics for vascular lesions-anorectal hemangiomas. The severity of rectal bleeding caused symptomatic anemia and possible surgical treatment was associated with a high risk of fecal incontinence. Here, we present selective embolization, a minimally invasive therapeutic approach that is proven as an alternative therapeutic method of choice. The patient significantly improved temporarily and had a small ischemic ulcer, which healed with a control colonoscopy and developed no stenosis.
conclusionAwareness of the clinical and radiological features of GI hemangiomas may help improve diagnostics and avoid inappropriate therapeutic procedures.
