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

Gastrointestinal bleeding is relatively common in children. While most patients present with mild bleeding, gastric antral vascular ectasia (GAVE) is a rare but potentially life-threatening cause. GAVE is typically associated with chronic conditions and more common in adults. The incidence, diagnosis, and management of GAVE in the pediatric population have not been established. We present two cases of GAVE with severe and chronic gastrointestinal bleeding. The first patient, a 7-year-old with chronic granulomatous disease who had melena and anemia following hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Endoscopic intervention with argon plasma coagulation (APC) was successful in achieving hemostasis. The second patient, an 18-year-old with veno-occlusive disease (VOD), developed GAVE as a result of portal hypertension. Endoscopic intervention with APC successfully controlled the bleeding in this patient as well. These cases highlight the challenges associated with diagnosing and managing GAVE in children.
