A case report of occult Cameron ulcer and a systematic review of the literature.

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
Background: Cameron ulcer is a rare condition characterized by ulceration within a large hiatal hernia. Numerous studies have reported that Cameron ulcers are typically detected due to complications such as gastrointestinal bleeding or chronic iron deficiency anemia. However, diagnosis based solely on recurrent abdominal pain is exceedingly rare. Case presentation: A 46-year-old male presented repeatedly with unexplained abdominal pain over a four-year period. A definitive diagnosis of occult Cameron's ulcer was established through a combination of gastroscopy, abdominal computed tomography (CT), and histopathological analysis. Following proton pump inhibitor (PPI) therapy, the patient's symptoms showed significant improvement. Discussion: We report the first documented case of an occult Cameron ulcer presenting exclusively with recurrent abdominal pain. In addition, we conducted a comprehensive literature review of previously reported cases of Cameron ulcers. Clinicians should maintain a high index of suspicion for Cameron ulcer in middle-aged and elderly women with hiatal hernia who present with chronic iron deficiency anemia or upper gastrointestinal bleeding. For the diagnosis of occult Cameron ulcers, the integration of gastroscopy, abdominal CT, and histopathological analysis significantly enhances diagnostic accuracy. While the majority of Cameron ulcers respond well to medical management, including acid suppression therapy and iron supplementation, individualized surgical intervention should be considered for patients with severe or refractory complications. Conclusion: For patients presenting solely with abdominal pain and suspected Cameron ulcers, we recommend the integrated use of gastroscopy, abdominal CT, and histopathological examination to enhance diagnostic accuracy. In cases with associated complications, a tailored, individualized treatment strategy should be formulated based on clinical presentation and severity.
