Mallory-Weiss Syndrome Triggered by Undigested Food Residues in a 90-Year-Old Male: An Unusual Etiology.
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
Mallory-Weiss syndrome is an uncommon cause of upper gastrointestinal bleeding, typically resulting from mucosal lacerations induced by retching, vomiting, or coughing. Although well described in middle-aged individuals, its occurrence in elderly patients is unusual and may present atypically. We report the case of a 90-year-old male who developed hematemesis following vomiting undigested food residues, without preceding forceful emesis. Endoscopy revealed a Mallory-Weiss tear with active bleeding, successfully treated with hemoclips, and an incidental duodenal polyp. This case underscores the role of non-classical triggers in elderly patients and highlights the importance of prompt endoscopic evaluation and therapy.
