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

Dieulafoy's ulcer is a rare but potentially fatal vascular malformation characterized by the presence of an abnormally large submucosal arteriole that erodes the overlying mucosa without an identifiable primary ulceration. Its duodenal location is exceptional. We report the case of a 76-year-old patient with multiple comorbidities, admitted to the emergency department of the Avicenne Military Hospital in Marrakech for melena that had been progressing for four days, accompanied by severe anemia (Hb 5.4 g/dL). An upper gastrointestinal endoscopy (EGD) revealed a Dieulafoy's lesion in the second part of the duodenum (D2), with spontaneous, diffuse bleeding and no visible ulceration. Endoscopic hemostasis was achieved by injection of adrenaline (6 cc) followed by the placement of two hemostatic metal clips, with a good clinical outcome.
