Intestinal Lymphangiectasia: A Rare Etiology of Gastrointestinal Bleeding.
Article in Clinical case reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Intestinal lymphangiectasia (IL) is a rare condition characterized by the blockage of lymphatic fluid draining from the small intestine. It commonly presents with symptoms such as malabsorption, diarrhea, and hypoproteinemia. Bleeding from IL is an infrequent manifestation. We report a rare case of bleeding intestinal lymphangiectasia in a patient who presented with symptomatic anemia and melena. Enteroscopy identified a focal mucosal lesion without active bleeding, while video capsule endoscopy revealed a mucosal lesion with active blood oozing in the proximal jejunum. Subsequent biopsy results confirmed focal lymphangiectasia with vascular congestion. The patient underwent laparoscopic resection of the jejunal lesion. Follow-up evaluations at 3 and 6 months showed no recurrence of symptoms.
