Complexities of Occult and Obscure Gastrointestinal Bleeding: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2026. 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
Small-bowel vascular malformations represent an uncommon but important source of obscure bleeding that can lead to iron deficiency anemia. Diagnosis and management can be challenging due to the intermittent nature and inaccessibility of small-bowel lesions. We present a 36-year-old man with recurrent iron deficiency anemia (IDA) requiring monthly iron infusions, in whom investigations using multiple modalities revealed the unusual finding of multiple small-bowel vascular malformations. Extensive investigations have failed to definitively localize a culprit bleeding point. This case highlights the diagnostic complexity of occult small-bowel bleeding and highlights the need for a coordinated multidisciplinary approach to establish an optimal management strategy.
