Navigating Diagnostic Challenges: An Uncommon Case of Jejunal Leiomyoma With Intussusception and Acute Gastrointestinal Bleeding.
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 report aims to describe an uncommon occurrence of jejunal leiomyomas, highlighting the clinical presentations, diagnostic challenges and therapeutic interventions. A 48-year-old male patient with a history of a jejuno-jejunal intussusception treated conservatively presented two years later with dark, maroon-colored stools and a hemoglobin of 6.8 g/L. Gastrointestinal upper endoscopy and colonoscopy showed no alterations that could justify the event. Endoscopic capsule revealed an ulcerated subepithelial lesion in the proximal jejunum. Abdominal CT scan indicated a 4.6-cm mesenchymal lesion (likely gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) or leiomyoma) in the jejunum. It was chosen to proceed with enterectomy due to the severity of the bleeding. At the time of the operation, the histopathological characteristics of the jejunal lesion were not definitively known but histopathology confirmed a jejunal leiomyoma. This case underscores the necessity of considering jejunal leiomyoma as a cause of acute gastrointestinal bleeding and the importance of a thorough investigation into potential underlying etiologies in adult intussusception cases. Furthermore, this case illustrates the diagnostic complexities associated with jejunal leiomyomas.
