Early Postoperative Endoscopic Findings Following Oversewn Repair of Prepyloric Ulcer Perforation: 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
Early postoperative endoscopic evaluation after repair of a perforated gastroduodenal ulcer is rarely performed due to concerns regarding disruption of the surgical closure. We report a patient who underwent primary sutured repair with omental reinforcement for a prepyloric ulcer perforation and subsequently developed postoperative anemia without an identifiable source of bleeding. Initial imaging, including computed tomography angiography, revealed no evidence of active arterial bleeding, prompting a carefully planned endoscopic evaluation in the third postoperative week. Endoscopy demonstrated an intact suture line with healthy granulation tissue and visible intraluminal Vicryl sutures, without evidence of bleeding or dehiscence. This case highlights that early postoperative endoscopic assessment can be safely performed when clinically indicated and provides valuable insight into the intraluminal healing process following oversewn ulcer perforation repair.
