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

Cirrhosis is associated with various types of gastrointestinal bleeding, including variceal and nonvariceal. Among variceal bleeding, one of the rare causes is duodenal varices. We report a case of an atypical endoscopic presentation of a duodenal variceal bleed in a 66-year-old woman with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis cirrhosis. Duodenal variceal bleeding can often mimic the Dieulafoy lesions, which can result in misdiagnosis, harmful interventions, and delayed treatment. This case underscores the importance on behalf of endoscopists to suspect broad differential diagnoses in patients with cirrhosis and atypical causes of gastrointestinal bleeding.
