Case Report: Massive rectal bleeding from stercoral ulcers in a pediatric patient.

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
A 10-year-old patient was admitted to the pediatric sub-intensive care unit due to massive rectal bleeding and severe acute anemia. His medical background included Asperger syndrome and a history of chronic constipation not adequately addressed by medical therapy. Colonoscopy showed two deep ulcers in the rectum and sigmoid colon of approximately 4 cm in diameter, which were diagnosed as stercoral ulcers related to stercoral colitis, a rare inflammatory form of colitis that occurs in patients with refractory constipation. Stercoral colitis has been mainly described in elderly patients with dementia or in bedbound patients and only occasionally in adults with psychiatric disorders. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of massive rectal bleeding from stercoral ulcers in a pediatric patient.
