Small Intestinal Cavernous Hemangioma Presenting with Recurrent Gastrointestinal Bleeding: A Case Report and Narrative Review.
Review in International medical case reports journal, 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
Background: Small intestinal cavernous hemangiomas are rare vascular malformations that present diagnostic and therapeutic challenges due to their deep location and propensity for recurrent bleeding. This report aims to describe a case with a sequential management approach and to synthesize existing evidence through a narrative literature review. Case Presentation : A 74-year-old female presented with recurrent melena for five months. Initial imaging (gastroscopy, colonoscopy, computed tomography angiography, and computed tomography enterography) revealed no bleeding source. Balloon-assisted enteroscopy identified a 0.6 cm mucosal protrusion 520 cm distal to the pylorus, with active oozing. Endoscopic hemostasis was achieved using metal clip occlusion and lauromacrogol sclerotherapy, following which a biopsy was performed safely to confirm the diagnosis of hemangioma. Six months later, melena recurred, and the patient underwent surgical resection of the same lesion. Pathological examination confirmed a cavernous hemangioma. At two-year follow-up, the patient remained free from recurrent gastrointestinal bleeding. Conclusion: This case highlights the value of balloon-assisted enteroscopy for localizing obscure small intestinal bleeding and achieving temporary hemostasis. While endoscopic intervention facilitates diagnosis and acute bleeding control, surgical resection remains the definitive treatment for selected cases. Close follow-up may be considered to monitor for potential recurrence. A narrative review of the literature supports the rarity of this condition and the limited evidence base for treatment standardization.
