A Rare Manifestation of Abdominal Pain in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus: A Case Report on Lupus Enterocolitis.
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
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease that commonly affects the skin, kidneys, and musculoskeletal system. We present a case of lupus enterocolitis, a rare manifestation of SLE that affects the small and large bowel. The case involves a 17-year-old woman with SLE, presenting with a seven-day history of colicky abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting. A contrast-enhanced CT abdomen and pelvis were organised 48 hours into her admission, showing multifocal inflammatory changes in the small and large bowel, most prominent in the ascending and transverse colon. She was successfully treated with intravenous steroids and continuation of her immunosuppressive agents. This case illustrates that SLE can affect the bowel, leading to an acute abdominal presentation that is difficult to diagnose. Prompt imaging and early administration of intravenous steroids enable effective management of lupus enterocolitis, reducing the risk of life-threatening complications such as bowel ischaemia and perforation.
