Role of Laparoscopy in Severe Gastrointestinal Bleeding Secondary to Coats Plus Syndrome.
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
Coats plus syndrome (CPS) is an exceedingly rare genetic disorder associated with premature telomere shortening. The syndrome, also known as cerebroretinal microangiopathy with calcifications and cysts, has a multisystemic manifestation. It may present as brain abnormalities, seizures, osteopenia, prenatal and postnatal growth deficiency, and portal hypertension, among others. Up to 40% of affected individuals manifest recurrent gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding which can be life-threatening in some cases. Treatment for GI bleeding is not standardized and is therefore individualized based on the patient's clinical status, comorbidities, and resource availability. We herein present a case of a 20-year-old female with CPS and a two-year history of severe recurrent GI bleeding unable to be identified by conventional endoscopy. This report highlights successful laparoscopic assisted enteroscopy with enterectomy as a novel diagnostic and therapeutic modality in this population.
