Peutz-Jeghers Syndrome in a Young Ethiopian Male: A Case Report.
Article in Case reports in gastrointestinal medicine, 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
Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS) is a rare autosomal dominant disorder characterized by hamartomatous polyps in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, pigmented mucocutaneous lesions, and an increased risk of cancer. We report a case of a 22-year-old male from Ethiopia who presented with recurrent abdominal pain and a history of surgery for bowel obstruction. Endoscopic evaluation revealed multiple polyps in the stomach, ileum, and colon, which were confirmed histopathologically as hamartomatous polyps. Mucocutaneous pigmentation and family history of GI symptoms and maternal breast cancer led to the diagnosis of PJS, despite the unavailability of genetic testing. The patient underwent therapeutic polypectomy and was advised on cancer surveillance. This case highlights the importance of recognizing and managing PJS in resource-limited settings, emphasizing the need for early diagnosis and vigilant surveillance to prevent complications, especially when genetic testing may not be readily available.
