1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundMassive gastrointestinal (GI), intraperitoneal, and pelvic hemorrhage in inherited bleeding disorders (IBDs) is rare but potentially life-threatening. Pediatric data remain limited.

methodsWe retrospectively reviewed patients ≤ 18 years with hemophilia A/B, von Willebrand disease (VWD), or rare bleeding disorders admitted with massive abdominal hemorrhage (September 2017-August 2025). Massive GI bleeding was defined as overt bleeding with estimated loss > 70 mL/kg/day or bleeding resulting in shock or transfusion. Intraperitoneal and pelvic hemorrhage required imaging confirmation. Demographics, interventions, and outcomes were analyzed and compared with the pediatric IBD cohort.

resultsOf 788 pediatric IBD patients, 10 (1.2%) developed massive abdominal hemorrhage: GI (n = 5), intraperitoneal (n = 3), and pelvic hematoma (n = 2). The GI bleeding cohort was older than the pediatric IBD cohort (median 16 vs. 8 years, p < 0.001). Diagnoses included hemophilia A (n = 4; 75% inhibitor-positive), hemophilia B (n = 1), VWD (n = 4), and Glanzmann thrombasthenia (n = 1). Seven required transfusions; four met massive transfusion criteria. Endoscopy identified a bleeding source in 80% of GI bleeds. Diagnostic delays were longer for intraperitoneal hemorrhage than for GI bleeds (p < 0.05).

conclusionsMassive abdominal haemorrhage causes significant morbidity. Early imaging, endoscopy, and aggressive hemostatic therapy resulted in 100% survival. Improved access to prophylaxis may prevent such events.
