Gastric Antral Vascular Ectasia as an Unusual Cause of Iron Deficiency Anemia in Primary Sjögren's Syndrome.
Article in International journal of applied & basic medical research. 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
Gastric antral vascular ectasia (GAVE) is a cause of chronic gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding and is commonly associated with autoimmune disorders such as systemic lupus erythematosus and systemic sclerosis. We report an elderly woman with hypertension and hypothyroidism who presented with sicca symptoms and features of left parotitis. Evaluation revealed strong antinuclear antibody positivity with a specific anti-Ro-52 profile, and a lip biopsy confirmed chronic sialadenitis, consistent with primary Sjögren's syndrome (PSS). During evaluation, she was incidentally found to have iron deficiency anemia, prompting upper GI endoscopy, which demonstrated multiple oozing telangiectasias consistent with GAVE. The coexistence of GAVE with iron deficiency anemia in the setting of PSS is rare and clinically noteworthy. The patient underwent endoscopic band ligation for GAVE and was treated with steroids, methotrexate, and hydroxychloroquine for PSS, resulting in improvement of sicca symptoms and normalization of hematological parameters.
