Asymptomatic Crohn's disease presenting as perianal masses in a child: A case report and literature review.
Article in SAGE open medical case reports, 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
A 7-year-old male presented to our outpatient pediatric dermatology clinic for enlarging perianal masses initially suspected to be warts. Family endorsed a 2-year history of generally poor growth but denied gastrointestinal symptoms at our initial visit. Physical examination revealed three fleshy, pedunculated, violaceous masses around the anal sphincter that were rubbery in texture. Pathology indicated inflammatory polyps and further investigations confirmed the diagnosis of anal skin tags secondary to highly active and severe Crohn's disease. This case highlights the essential role of dermatologists in recognizing perianal masses as potential indicators of Crohn's disease, even when classic gastrointestinal symptoms are initially absent, as these findings can enable timely diagnosis and management.
