A Rare Gastrointestinal Manifestation of Cryoglobulinemic Vasculitis: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2025. 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
This case displays a rare and complex manifestation of mixed cryoglobulinemia (MC) associated with chronic hepatitis C (HCV) infection, emphasizing the unusual gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms seen in this condition. While GI involvement is uncommon in cryoglobulinemia, it becomes crucial to consider when patients present with unexplained diarrhea, weight loss, and systemic vasculitis signs. Our patient exhibited persistent diarrhea, purpuric skin rashes, weight loss, fatigue, peripheral neuropathy, and renal dysfunction, all of which were suggestive of cryoglobulinemic vasculitis with renal involvement. Diagnosis was confirmed through cryoglobulin testing, reduced complement levels, elevated rheumatoid factor, and kidney biopsy results showing membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis. The case highlights the importance of recognizing and addressing otherwise unexplained GI symptoms in the diagnosis and management of cryoglobulinemia, particularly in the context of HCV infection. It also emphasizes the value of a multidisciplinary approach involving nephrology, rheumatology, dermatology, and gastroenterology in the management of this complex disease.
