Hematochezia: An abnormal presenting symptom of an extensive vascular malformation in a 6-year-old boy.
Article in JPGN 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
Gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding can be a common symptom in the pediatric population. Vascular malformations, which cause symptoms based on their location and effect on surrounding structures, are an uncommon cause of GI bleeding. We present the case of a 6-year-old male with a 1-year history of hematochezia, constipation, and microcytic anemia. Physical exam demonstrated a firm, mobile, non-circumferential anal mass measuring 4 cm in diameter, and located predominantly at the right-anterior bowel wall. Initial imaging, including abdominal radiograph and abdominal ultrasound, was unremarkable. Colonoscopy was visually and histologically negative. Magnetic resonance imaging of the pelvis showed an extensive pelvic venous-lymphatic malformation in the left hemipelvis, with extension to the right hemipelvis and left lower extremity, displacement of the rectum and colon, and protrusion into the anal canal. He was started on Sirolimus with symptom improvement. This case discusses a rare presentation of a pediatric vascular malformation presenting with a protruding anal mass.
