Finding a Diagnosis in Obscure Gastrointestinal Bleeding: A Case of Small Bowel Neuroendocrine Tumor.
Article in Cureus, 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
Small bowel or mid-gut gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding has been historically difficult to diagnose and is believed to be the main culprit of what was once termed obscure GI bleeding. Small bowel bleeding is difficult to evaluate due to its inaccessibility by direct visualization. Due to recent innovations in diagnostic techniques such as video capsule endoscopy (VCE), deep enteroscopy, and CT enterography, the capability to visualize and diagnose pathologies within the small bowel has improved. One such pathology is neuroendocrine tumors (NETs), which in recent years have overtaken adenocarcinoma as the most common malignancy of the small intestine. Early-stage small bowel neuroendocrine tumors (SBNETs) in the jejunal-ileum are difficult to detect due to their indolent nature and are often found only after they metastasize. We describe a case of small bowel GI bleeding in a functional 90-year-old patient where methodological use of advanced diagnostic modalities with video capsule endoscopy and double balloon enteroscopy helped identify an early-stage SBNET of the jejunal-ileum, leading to timely surgical intervention.
