When Relief Backfires: A Case Report of Non-steroidal Anti-inflammatory Drug (NSAID)-Induced Acute Colitis.
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
The use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) can be traced back to the Greco-Roman era, when willow tree bark extract was commonly used for its analgesic properties. Since their inception, NSAIDs have become a common component of treatment plans, with widespread use across various pathological conditions. However, there has been a recent increase in the incidence and prevalence of both upper and lower gastropathies. This case report examines an 18-year-old Caucasian male with no significant past medical history who presented with new-onset hematochezia and generalized fatigue. He reported daily over-the-counter NSAID use for more than two years prior to the onset of symptoms, primarily to self-treat debilitating daily headaches. Further evaluation with esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) and colonoscopy with biopsy revealed colonic crypt infiltrates. He was diagnosed with acute colitis, discharged from our service, and advised to undergo a repeat colonoscopy in six weeks; however, the patient was ultimately lost to follow-up.
