Ischemic duodenal injury due to systemic lupus erythematosus: A case report.
Article in World journal of gastroenterology, 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
backgroundSystemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic autoimmune disease involving multiple organ systems. Lupus enteritis is a rare but potentially life-threatening gastrointestinal manifestation characterized by immune complex-mediated inflammation that may cause edema, ischemia, or intestinal perforation. Because abdominal symptoms often overlap with those of infection or drug toxicity, an accurate diagnosis requires a high index of suspicion supported by characteristic radiologic findings. CASE SUMMARY: A 47-year-old female with a known history of SLE and membranous glomerulonephritis presented with acute epigastric pain. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography revealed venous-type ischemia involving the second portion of the duodenum and proximal jejunum. Despite intensive medical management, progressive ischemic changes necessitated surgical resection and duodenojejunostomy. Postoperatively, the patient developed pancreatitis and biliary obstruction at the ampulla of Vater, requiring coordinated multidisciplinary care, including rheumatologic evaluation for disease flares, radiology-guided percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage, internal stent placement, and pathological confirmation of small-vessel vasculitis. Both complications resolved after intervention. Duodenal involvement in lupus enteritis is exceptionally rare, and cases requiring surgical intervention are even rarer. Consequently, only a few cases have been reported.
conclusionPrompt recognition and multidisciplinary management are essential for favorable outcomes in patients with severe lupus enteritis and duodenal involvement.
