A Rare Co-Occurrence of Gastric Heterotopia and Autonomic Nervous System Dysfunction: An Attempt to Explain If There Is a Need to Explore Possible Syndromic Link.
Article in Journal of medical cases, 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
Gastric heterotopia (GHT) is the presence of gastric mucosa outside the stomach, including in the rectum. A 59-year-old man presented with rectal bleeding and altered bowel habits, along with long-standing low blood pressure and erectile dysfunction. Investigations confirmed rectal GHT, initially managed conservatively, followed by mucosectomy, which improved his gastrointestinal symptoms. However, persistent dizziness, blurred vision, and urinary symptoms prompted neurological evaluation, revealing autonomic nervous system (ANS) dysfunction. This case represents the first reported co-occurrence of GHT and ANS dysfunction. Although both conditions are rare and typically unrelated, their co-presentation suggests a possible link. We hypothesize that chronic inflammation or neurochemical signaling from ectopic gastric mucosa may contribute to autonomic disruption. Further research is needed to explore shared pathophysiological mechanisms.
