Recurrent Gastrointestinal Bleeding in Severe Aortic Stenosis: A Case of Heyde's Syndrome.
Article in Journal of cardiovascular echography. 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
Heyde's syndrome is a recognized but often underdiagnosed cause of recurrent gastrointestinal bleeding in elderly patients, characterized by the triad of severe aortic stenosis, gastrointestinal angiodysplasia, and acquired von Willebrand factor (vWF) deficiency. We report the case of a 72-year-old male who presented with recurrent melena over 6 months, associated with progressive anemia and fatigue. Despite multiple hospitalizations and repeated upper gastrointestinal endoscopy and colonoscopy, no bleeding source was identified. Further evaluation revealed severe calcific aortic stenosis on echocardiography and evidence of acquired vWF deficiency. Capsule endoscopy identified angiodysplasia in the proximal jejunum. The patient was initially managed with supportive and endoscopic measures; however, due to persistent bleeding, he underwent surgical aortic valve replacement. Following valve replacement, gastrointestinal bleeding resolved completely, hemoglobin levels normalized, and vWF multimers were restored. This case highlights the importance of recognizing the diagnostic triad of Heyde's syndrome and supports aortic valve replacement as definitive therapy.
